Choose Mastodon. Choose the Fediverse.
Choose curiosity over virality. Boost because you care. Follow because you’re interested. Be niche. Be human.
Choose Freedom.

@andypiper But that monologue was cynic, wasn't it? 😄

(I'm working on some longer variations, but thought I'd put this out there in the meantime!)
Choose connection over noise, authenticity over performance, and hope over hype.

@kaffeeringe yeah, I'm trying to pivot it... maybe it doesn't work? Experimenting.

@andypiper Choose TikTok! Choose X! Choose freedom of speech! Choose to become an influencer! Choose never to be bored again! Choose to be a great business man on LinkedIn! 😄

Choose a thousand small communities instead of one loud machine. Choose timelines that listen. Choose to build together. Choose a human web.

@shalf I was thinking about how to cover some of that...

@andypiper Choose Fediverse.
Choose community over corporations.
Choose decentralized servers that don’t secretly monetize your attention.
Choose admins who are actual humans, not anonymous hotline bots following a script.
Choose feeds without algorithmic force‑feeding, without “We thought you’d like this,” without manipulative infinite scroll. -

Choose content written for people, not for reach.
Choose the luxury of not filling a billionaire’s timeline.
Choose federation, because you want to decide who you follow — and who gets to follow you. -

Choose Mastodon, Misskey, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Friendica, or whatever tomorrow brings.
Choose the option to move at any time without losing your digital life. -
Choose a thousand small communities instead of one loud machine. Choose timelines that listen. Choose to build together. Choose a human web.
Choose places where your words aren’t metrics and your friends aren't a product. Choose open standards. Choose an internet that doesn't depend on one billionaire's mood. Choose moderation with local norms over faceless algorithms.
[apart from open standards, I think these could do with some work]

Choose conversation over conflict.
Choose slow social instead of doomscrolling.
Choose people, not brands.
Choose Fediverse.
Because maybe the internet isn’t broken — maybe it just needs to belong to us again. -

Choose creativity. Choose interoperability instead of being walled in or caged. Choose joy. Choose The Indie Beat!

@andypiper I read this as "choose a thousand small communists..." and yep, it still holds up that way. 👍

@vormrodo Ich sehe, dass du auf der Webseite Monocles empfiehlst. Davon kann ich auf Grund der Zielgruppe aktuell nur abraten. Monocles basiert auf einer veralteten Version von Conversations und weist einige Sicherheitslücken auf die in Conversations schon vor Monaten behoben wurden.

@ismondo @jules Monocles is based on a very outdated version of #Conversations_im and has major security issues that I fixed in Conversations months ago. I currently would not recommend using it.

@simonemartelli per me il problema è la centralità di cloudflare: il fatto che un privato possa avere tanto potere da ricattare un governo/ente pubblico.
Ma non ritengo che sia causato da cloudflare, quanto da una politica pigra ed ignorante che prende decisioni sui software da adottare senza considerare la differenziazione dei servizi nè l'origine delle aziende a cui si affida come parametri della scelta.
Magari questa storia potrà educare qualcuno, anche se confesso che ne dubito

@Andrepax @GustavinoBevilacqua dipende da cosa si intende per implosione di Meta, e anche per barattare
* meta implode, ma viene sostituitada un'altra azienda che si comporta bene per un po', poi finisce col diventare il prossimo meta: no, non è un obiettivo per cui valga la pena di rinunciare a qualcosa
* meta implode, non viene sostituita da un'azienda, ma da una federazione di server indipendenti, che però riproducono tutte le dinamiche tossiche dei social commerciali: tecnicamente è un male minore, ma non credo che sia un passo avanti sufficiente per giustificare la distruzione di una cosa buona come è il fediverso oggi, e soprattutto
* molto più probabile del caso prima, se si inizia a smantellare il fediverso attuale per sostituirlo con qualcosa di federato, ma tossico, nella speranza che la cosa faccia implodere meta, vedo molto più probabile il risultato in cui si è perso il fediverso, e meta è ancora viva e vegeta a fare danni.poi spazio per sperimentare con cose nuove c'è, se qualcuno vuole farlo è libero di farlo, basta che nel farlo non rompa quello che c'è già.
