The Instagram blocking of hashtags this morning was the last straw. I'm beginning my transition off of all centralized social media.
Hope I can get my friends to follow.

Hoping to replace Facebook with a viable alternative to keep me in touch with local events in Hereford, UK in particular, as well as other interests

Little Drone, Big Damage - Drone that bent this wing weighed less than half a pound
Photos of the internal damage caused by a drone strike on the wing of a CL-415 waterbomber in California 10 days ago show that even tiny drones pack a punch. The drone, pieces of which were recovered from inside the wing, has been identified as weighing less than half a pound. The impact over Pacific Palisades bent the front of a rib and a horizontal leading edge member, and the water-scooping amphib required significant repairs.

Deactivate and uninstall
I don't trust #meta will delete my #facebook or #instagram or #threads data when I delete my accounts. Until i figure out what to do long term, these are the steps I've taken:
* uninstalled facebook, messenger, and threads apps (kept ig initially)
* made sure my meta account is not linked to fb or ig (I have an oculus quest that is useless without a meta account and I have not decided what I will do about that)
* changed my name to something ridiculous on facebook
* changed my username to someone else (breaks the url I was associated with)
* disconnected from all apps and cleared history and fucked with anything else I could in the facebook settings
* started manually deleting media, posts, and comments (not sure if i will continue this since it's probably pointless)
* disconnected from all apps and cleared history and fucked with anything else I could in the instagram settings and then deactivated it
* uninstalled instagram
What have you done so far and what else are you planning? There is lots more to do.

Meta is probably moving it's servers and all it's backups into the FBI data center or giving the a FBI a back door into them (if they don't already have one). Just kidding, well not really.

Today’s Chicago Weather
In case anyone was thinking this would be a good time of year to visit Chicago. Yes, that’s Fahrenheit. 🥶
Getting Through The Day
Despite my resolution to keep the bad stuff out of my head this time around, too much has already leaked in. Not so easy to see the end of all we worked, sacrificed and struggled to accomplish.
But life goes on. The fragrance of roasted millet. The sparkle of sun on the snow. The laughing, little girl, wielding a pink snow shovel, fighting back against efforts to clear the sidewalk.

Creating groups?
I'm trying to find how to create a group on Friendica. According to the docs, it should be under the "Contacts" tab, but I'm not seeing it there.

New to here
Found Friendica from a post on Mastodon. I’ve been off X for a year and tried Bsky but got lots of trolls and women with no posts or biogs who all shared youth and large appurtenances. Still on Facebook due to friends and groups but highly restricted. And yes young ladies also want to be friends there. I joined my first political party at age 71, the Lib Dem’s. They are not perfect but they have some amazingly talented MPs.

Question on Profile.
Just joined but looked through the settings to add a photo to my profile but can't find it. What am I missing, or where is it please?
I'm #newhere
I've just created an account so I'm exploring. I've heard that it's possible to integrate Friendica with Mastodon and Disapora* to some extent so I'll be looking for pointers in that direction!
Thanks for sharing.
I've made some progress. I've followed my Mastodon and Diaspora* accounts here and found that for Diaspora* following only works from Friendica to Diaspora* and can't be done the other way round.
I'm also working through setting up my own Friendica server. I've just managed to log in with my admin account so I'll see how that goes!

Survival
The Nazis have arrived.
If I don't get fired, arrested, or executed, I just might survive the next fours years ... or longer.
I have nature, therapists, alcohol, meds, pets, and guitars.
Toward survival, I have a slim chance.
Bon chance
Lykke til

Hello, just created my account. Is there a way to create a group similar to what we have on Facebook here?
Thanks Lemmus for the info. I just joined the group. I'll test the option of creating a new one.

An update on the worker issue at Friendica.World
I haven't heard back on the GitHub issue for a few days now. Not sure we'll be able to get the process tuned to get more jobs done any time soon.
Meanwhile, it seems the speed has improved a bit without any changes, no idea why. It's now doing a bit over 70000 jobs per day. The queue currently is at 370000, which means somewhere this weekend it should be caught up.
Then we can carefully try to re-enable some features that we disabled, like the Bluesky bridge, and contacts discovery etc.
I've opened a second issue for help on enabling the mail connector: github.com/friendica/friendica…

I just tried the friendica app on Windows, and I don't understand it at all. It's exactly the same as the website, from the layout, to the inaccessible parts. Why would I want to install any program that acts and looks exactly like a website? Is this some strange sighted thing?

I was having trouble getting pages to load, uploading my picture, and just generally getting use to the navigation. I figured it out, but was still pretty frustrating.

Yeah, the UX needs help, and onboarding is *awful*. The website looks like a 1990s enterprise app. They need some *serious* design help.
