If you were given control of all products owned by Facebook, what would you do with them?

In short, open source APIs for everything.

  1. Open up Facebook Messenger to Matrix, allowing interoperability with all Matrix clients
  2. Open up Facebook/Instagram to ActivityPub, allowing for third party clients
  3. Remove account gates for public Facebook/Instagram pages
  4. RSS feeds for public Facebook/Instagram pages

End all advertising/tracking etc, and charge people $1 per month to use it, or $12 annual fee.

Why not just remove the bad bits? Can you not see a single positive function of these products?

I don’t think the bad bits are inseparable from the rest of it at this point.

Actually that’s a terrible idea. Look how abandonnés we feel with Reddit basically kicking everyone out. It hasn’t even shut down! I would instead work on removing the data gathering aspect of Meta, no more tracking, no more data selling, no more advertising. Then I would open source everything (maybe keep security parts private at first)

I think we need to make this a thing.

“I’ve got a stack of boxes in the garage I need to go full Elon on.”

“Yeah she was so pissed off she went Elon on his car.”

I think elonning refers to taking something that is functional and making bad decisions to run it into the ground.

Like, ‘she ignored all the maintenance advice and elonned her new car to death in 6 months’
