@_[email protected] yo this is tremendous work, thank you for doing the fedi such a service ๐ฏ๐ฏ
@[email protected] thank you for the kind words!
I'm doing this to get more friends on here. 99.9% of my real life close friends and family members only use social apps by Big Tech.
And I have a vested interest in having the Fediverse succeed because in a decade's time my little one will be a teenager. It would be upsetting to see her use toxic platforms by Big Tech. Her worth shouldn't be associated to the number of followers she has or likes she gets. I'd want her to use healthier social media...
@_[email protected] I find that exemplary. we should all take a lesson from you, actively building a better, trustful, more egalitarian world for the next generations.
@[email protected] thank youuuu! ๐ฅน I just wish other parents and grandparents would be more aware of the dangers / toxicity of digital platforms by Big Tech. Most people I talk to are resigned and say "there's nothing we can do, they're the standard, everybody uses them." I find that to be a weak argument and I'm ready to give all my support to healthy alternatives
@_[email protected] these are the right attitudes and the high expectations we need to set and stick to. kids are in real danger. adults are in real danger. getting radicalised and racist on facebook, torturing themselves to look like instagram people, torrents of misinformation on twitter, it is a shambles. the fedi takes the corrupt corporate element out right, and that puts it in the commons. where it can be made safe and empowering.
@[email protected] yes, this is why I love the Fediverse so much!
