Posted on IG:
We’re done posting to Meta.
Sabot’s Facebook and Instagram accounts may remain online for now. A collective decision about whether to delete them entirely has not been made.
But I, personally, have made my own decision: I’m no longer going to spend my time feeding our reporting, organizing work, photographs, graphics, or attention into Meta’s platforms. If other members want to post here they have access and are able to do so. This was not an easy decision and we may return. But for now I think it is important and I hope you follow us off these platforms.
If you’ve followed us here, thank you. Seriously. But this is where our active presence on these platforms ends.
Sabot isn’t going anywhere. We’re publishing more than ever. We just don’t need to keep pouring our work into corporate platforms designed to trap communities inside somebody else’s infrastructure, harvest their attention, and decide which parts of the world they’re permitted to see.
Independent media should have independent infrastructure. Communities should be able to find each other without asking Mark Zuckerberg’s algorithms for permission.
So come find us elsewhere.
Follow Sabot on the federated and independent social web. Follow our Mastodon presence, subscribe directly to sabot.media, use RSS, bookmark the site, share our work directly, or print and distro it.
The internet is much bigger than Facebook and Instagram. It always was.
I’ll see you outside the walls.
