Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg

[hirad@m.hirad.it]

@pixelfed Honestly, this is the worst open letter I've ever read. It lacks maturity and professionalism. It's full of snarky comments and a tone that doesn't encourage an adult conversation.
He had the chance to show Meta is the one acting like a child, but instead he made himself sound like one. And that's sad.

@pixelfed I truly hope that the letter was sent, too.

@pixelfed @paul_e_cooley unfortunately, intentionally or accidentally. Dan is following Elon's 'move fast and break things' mentality.

He's doing great things for fediverse visibility... but being a one man show leads to getting your ego involved or missing things (like Loops' egregious rights over-reach in its TOS).

Dan's done a lot of good... I just hope he can avoid an Icarus-style crash and burn that could undo a lot of that good.

@pixelfed I believe texts get better when we step aside for a few cycles and not let ourselves be driven by the highness of attention. Zuckerberg has never been what you describe. There is no grassroots moral origin we could jumpstart in the back of his memory. It is historically evident that Facebook, later meta has frequently chosen the unethical paths when they had choice to. There is no ancient ideal to appeal to. No renaissance can happen.

@pixelfed
"without harvesting their personal data"?
Maybe someone should tell the lawyers who drafted the Loops TOS that

@edgren @pixelfed I hope it wasn't in its current form.
