    @dawid Indeed, switching from Instagram to the Fediverse initially feels like abandoning your friends for ideological reasons and moving to the desert. After a year of switching, very few of my friends have made the move to the Fediverse, which is really sad. But I've found completely new friends and am learning different things. The desert is alive, presumably with particularly resilient creatures!

    There have been a couple of posts somewhat recently asking what can be done to attract new users to the Fediverse. My answer was basically "make it something new people would want to see and stick around for". The crux of that was basically less news, less politics, less rage and more, well, anything else. So, I would like to propose a challenge to all: Let's try that. At least for a week. Sound good? Here's how you can participate: If you're one who posts a lot of news/politics...stop or at least slow down. Post literally anything else. Or try to post less rage-inducing news and try to dig up the good news that's happening. Sorry !upliftingnews@lemmy.world but it's the regular news communities that are flooding the zone with every single bad thing that happens anywhere in the world, so we may be stealing some of your content with this one. Think before posting something. Are you only posting it because you're mad about it and you think other people should be mad about it too? If so, maybe post something else. Is there already similar coverage of that? Chances are, we don't need more of it. If you're a lurker, post something. Add your voice. Refrain from upvoting / booting all the negativity. Yes, it may feel good to upvote for visibility because "people need to know this" but the end result is the feed turning into a list of things to rage about. If you see good/non-rage news, upvote that for visibility. I've seen many posts like that languish with a few tens of upvotes at most while the rage-inducing news gets hundreds of upvotes. Post what makes you happy rather than what you're angry about. Avoid dogpiling on people if they express a different opinion. I'm not saying feed the trolls or pat them on the head, just merely "disengage" or avoid the impulse to virtue dump on them and such. If you have a hobby, share it! There's plenty of hobby communities that would greatly benefit from additional contributors. If you're boring like me, well, there's !Dullsters@dullsters.net or !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world (the latter welcomes all as the name is just a reference to the original) Anything else you can think of to make the homepage/experience feel more welcoming and less like an angry mob (suggestions in the comments are more than welcome). I know not everyone will participate, and that's okay. Simply adding more positivity and posting/boosting less rage can have a positive effect on what shows up on /all which is what potential new users see by default. So, let's try this for a week and see what happens. Who knows? Maybe the established userbase will find it refreshing as well. Who's with me?

    Hey Fedi, I know there are a good lot of you want actionable ways to fight fascism. You know how one of the strategies that fascists use is to overwhelm people and make them freeze up, unable to fight back? I know many of you might not be used to this because it doesn't really exist on major social media platforms, but we have a thing here called a content warning (CW) that collapsed a post with little custom tags on it. Think of it as consent. Instead of forcibly pouring Scottish breakfast tea down a stranger's throat, you can ask them if they want it and warm them it's a smidge hot to chug This is especially appreciated by those of us that are marginalised because we have to deal with trauma, horrid news, and the like on a nearly daily basis as it is, and CWs allow us to decide whether we have enough energy and emotional capacity at that moment to deal with more of it which can literally save some of our days. (To use myself as an example, I'm mostly bedridden and spare emotional energy can decide whether I'm able to physically take care of myself that day or not.)It's a small thing, and it may feel awkward or uncomfortable at first, but I promise once you get used to them, other social media sites will feel like needless barrages on your sanity and you'll feel oddly naked trying to make posts then realising they don't have that feature #Antifascim #SocialJustice #Fedi #Mastodonp.s. if you need ideas for terms to put as part of the cw, I'm happy to help share some common ones I see~
