If you’re running an instance why not just cut the shit and block Meta?
Of course they are
I don't get why people rush to the next replica platform that will go down the exact same path of overstimulating you / mentally harming you.
Just delete Instagram.
Don't replace it.
I deleted instagram. I held on to Facebook for 2 reasons. One, marketplace has taken over as the only viable local resell platform. And Two, it's the only platform I can use to share my music locally and vastly. I want my friends, family, and neighbors to hear my music and other than handing out a card with QR code to my Spotify, then I kind of stuck.
I refuse to use Facebook even for Marketplace. I still have pretty good luck with Craigslist.
I don’t sell locally often but when I do, I use craigslist. It’s also great for picking up a cable modem on the cheap when moving into a new area (don’t have to deal with the ISP-supplied one).
Just don't use marketplace for apartment and house hunting. It's filled to the brim with scammers.
I sold a bridge to someone on FB marketplace. I love it

I think they get used to the level of stimulation and now feel "wrong" without it. It takes a certain self-awareness to realize that it would be healthier to recalibrate your expectations. (I don't think Pixelfed is a comparatively harmful platform at the moment anyway, although I suppose it could someday become one.)

and don't think they won't start blocking mentions of Mastodon. unless, they won't since Mastodon is just known for being a Twitter alternative.
Make Mastodon known for replacing any and all corporate social media. That'l get em.
Back when I was on Twitter (a couple of years ago now), all links to Mastodon were explicitly marked as "unsafe", and posts containing such links were demoted. So it's apparently kind of normal for these social media companies to attempt to choke new competition as early as possible.
lmao! Trashy Zuck!
