Comment on Meta Is Blocking Links to Pixelfed

Meta be like:
“Calling LGBTQ+ people «mentally ill»? No, we can’t remove that, it would be censorship.”
“Linking to a competitor that doesn’t ? NO, YOU CAN’T DO THAT! No, we aren’t totally censoring you, we’re, uhm, you’re totally spamming! Yeah, that’s it, you’re spam!”
I think that people can - and should - capitalise on Streisand Effect against Meta.

It is very difficult to motivate people to move to a different platform.
Meta continues to do shitty things. I deleted all my accounts 10 years ago because of said shitty things. The list of shitty things keeps growing.
I can try to be optimistic about the Streisand effect. But it would have to be towards positive experience with pixelfed. Enough people would need to move for it to not feel empty. Sort of like BlueSky during the election. Enough people frustrated with twitter, and (most importantly) see enough people, including celebrities, politicians and other influencers migrate to make it worth checking out.
