Dear All, For a long time, I’m planning to bring on the issue here that several accounts of Free Software related projects, communities, people, companies, etc. are quite active on proprietary social network but barely active or not active at all on the decentralized Free Software based ones.
Now that #DeleteFacebook hashtag is trending and the diaspora* federation doubled its active users in the past weeks (see, https://the-federation.info/), I do believe that it is a right time to finally fix this issue and all of us be at least as active on these decentralized Free Software based social networks as we are on the proprietary ones. So please, if you post with some regularity on twitter, facebook, etc. post the same thing also on one of the decentralized Free Software based networks. It is not difficult to do that, but it can have a significant impact on when Free Software will finally also triumph in the sector of social networks. Also please pass on this idea and encourage others to do the same. (You know, if I only convince 2 people now but each of them also convinces 2 people, etc. then in just 37 steps we will convince more people than that are ever lived on Earth <https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2%5E37+people+%3E++people+ever+lived+on+earth>… ;-) Seriously, I alone can only convince a couple of people but together we can convince a lot and start a real social media Liberation movement <https://www.ted.com/talks/derek_sivers_how_to_start_a_movement/transcript#t-75637> now...) Thank you! Gergely
