@newsbot Lets hope for more of the same in 2022. and hope that, given Truth.social runs mastodon this really boosts what we have.

#TheYearMetaDies (sounds more apt than Facebook dies.

@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople

How about #TheYearFacebookDies :D

On a serious note

I think we can just stick to #TheYearOfTheFediverse that way anyone clicking on that will find more related content,

@NGIZero Cool thanks. Fingers crossed on this.

@ravi @praveen
The digital detox kit from @info_activism are good having a link to those or some printed out means that when something happens e.g the current facebook rebrand or more whistleblowing you can offer people an alternative

sure we can use #DeleteFacebook which I do but along side that I use join mastodon and #TheYearOfTheFediverse

So i am providing a lnk to alternatives.

Also just let them know my feelings on Twitter.
@eff @info_activism may want to get in touch with them to educate them on privacy. Before they brainwash more people in to using facecrap, google and others. #NOgafam
#TheYearOfTheFediverse

@freemo What would happen if we all used the hashtag #TheYearOfTheFediverse and shared the join Mastodon logo ?

If Facebook does change it's name won't that mean that the millions of people on that platform will have to change links etc on websites and other places (brochures, marketing materials etc) to point to the new profile.

Given the amount of money people spend doing this, they are perhaps going to be very very angry about it

This presents us as a fediverse a massive opportunity to promote fedi as an alternative and perhaps a small window to get people on here instead.

After all you own instance is your own, no one else is going to decide to just the name to suit them

Power to the users

#TheYearOfTheFediverse
#TheYearOfTheFedizen

@Erik

Fully agree here. However people know and trust (thanks to brainwashing) facebook, therefore they will go with what they know.

But that should not stop us building something better.

Lets go for it

#DeleteFacebook
#TheYearOfTheFediverse

ps can I encourage more people to use these hashtags, we may not have trending here but it shows support for that cause.

@hbenjamin You could set up a @writeas blog that way non fedi users can read too. Perhaps provide a link to the instance you are on, we could get more sign ups.

#TheYearOfTheFediverse

How do I follow #nfl results on here @NFL appears to be the official twitter channel ( Iam guessing it just reposts contest here) but has a invalid SSL certificate or something.

I just want score / fixture updates.

@rixty_dixet@friendica.feneas.org Facebook is one big voyeur, same people on there are too dumb to see it.

#FakeBook #DeleteFacebook #TheYearOfTheFediverse

@lanodan yeah, hopefully it will grow

#TheYearOfTheFediverse

@zleap
If you value your access to twitter and linkedIn, we wouldn't recommend publishing #TheYearOfTheFediverse flyers on there.

You might discover that they have a "suspicious activity" algorithm at work. *wink*

Facebook and Google 'too powerful' says watchdog boss

I am just contacting the CMA to suggest that,

a) asbig tech should not be allowed to dictate laws and bully to change laws. by blocking access to news.

I am also suggesting we need to get behind alternatives more, e.g decentralised social media,

I would really encourage others here to do the same, it may make a difference, if nothing it gets the name fediverse, mastodon etc out there so people have actually heard of it.

if this is going to be
#TheYearOfTheFediverse

Lets make ourselves heard!, The more people who do, the louder we will be.

Ok lets see if we can boost the fediverse a little
I set up an account to try and promote Torbay, (where I live)

https://mastodon.org.uk/@TorbayUK

If enough people boost / or favourite this then may be. As I am trying to promote the fact Iam doing this, if there a good few likes at least people will see that and think what I am doing is worth it

#TheYearOfTheFediverse #Mastodon #promo Torbay

@TorbayUK

@rw I think, we are stronger together when collaborating and reading from the same page. We can coordinate our efforts

#TheYearOfTheFediverse

@alcinnz There are exciting times ahead, many people are not even aware of this silent revolution, the Solid Project, Small Web, Taler, Fediverse.
