We need a decentralized, general marketplace.
I would like a VR headset that is comparable in hardware and price to the Quest 3, that also isnt owned by ByteDance. Pretty much only two options; Meta’s Quest 3 or ByteDance’s Pico 4. 😞

My guess is the writers are here among us and don’t want it to become a cesspool. It’s their safe haven. Just a guess though.
If we’re strictly speaking about “Meta alternatives” that means we’re looking specifically for replacements for Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and Threads. “Just don’t have Facebook”, Signal, Pixelfed and Mastodon/Bluesky are direct replacements for those. Lemmy is a Reddit replacement which doesn’t have anything to do with Mark “I am actually a lizard” Zuckerberg.

I mean come on, we’ve got weird uncles with questionable perspectives.
Maybe this will actually make you ever so slightly less valuable to meta in the short term (presuming they honor your choices for these settings), but they’re still going to continue harvesting your data and can change their minds at any point in the future. Only way to truly become less valuable is to disappear from their gaze.
Wait, can you serioisly not delete comments with Thunder or am I blind,
The alternatives were mentioned in the episode, but they aren’t on this website. This was from the last section, which was something along the lines of “if you absolutely need to use their products, you can still have some impact. Here is a memorable website you can link people to”
Android Thunder. Three dots below message you wrote. Delete at bottom.
Note that short of deleting your account, messages aren’t deleted with Lemmy. They’re marked hidden in the html. You can see them with view source.
Maybe I’m blind but I don’t see a Meta alternatives section.
