Hello, Fediverse 👋
I'm Sophie. I run a digital ops consultancy from the south of France, working with purpose-led businesses.
I'm in the process of leaving Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I got tired of building on platforms that sell our data, gut safety systems to please politicians, and treat people as products.
Still figuring it all out. Would love to connect.

Welcome! Yes, many of us have been there. Following and using hashtags are your friend here in the land devoid of follow recommendations.Hope you find yourself a nice community here!
Love the artwork btw.

@Blort thank you! The autonomy is a revelation! Having the choice is so refreshing - I'm really enjoying exploring :)

@sophiekaz I think content type matters too. Family/feelings stuff doesn't seem to play here or on Bluesky, but plays well on threads. Techie stuff doesn't play on threads, but seems to be okay here. @asmartbear and I had that convo, his business posts get more engagement on Bluesky than on threads.
@philpetree @asmartbear interesting, thank you! I've been considering Bluesky, but wasn't sure what the community here thinks of it's ethical credentials... Do you think it's wise for me to sign up? I used to post quite a bit of stuff related to my business...

I'm sure you will find much more of the "that feel human" part here for your purposes.
That is one of the best things I've found here, and it has helped me regain belief in that things very much can and will get better.
@tsvenson that's so wonderful to hear, thank you. I've been feeling quite hopeless recently with what's happening in the world, and I'm trying to take control of the things I actually have some influence over, no matter how small, just to feel like I'm doing something. I'm hopeful that if enough of us make these small shifts, the change starts to add up.
-
@sophiekaz only been here since 2022 myself, but having divested myselfbof the centralized stuff, and someone who advocates privacy, seeing someone make the leap is great.
Just reach out to the fediverse if you need help.
@knowprose thank you so much for your welcome and your kindness :)

I don't have a good answer. I have a friend who's a publicist for famous authors, and she advised me to get back on social media and build a following, so a few years ago, I got back on, but I find it all so tedious. LOL Most places I have 500ish followers, and it doesn't change much. -

Understandable, as it is the loudest who take up space on the other ones and otherwise. But also since those are driven by other metrics than here.
As with most of #OpenSoruce, Mastodon is built and cared for by people who actually want to use it, and make it all the more usable for others too.

I just recently made the change too!
I mainly did it to get rid of being fed short form content but the lack data being sold is a huge plus in my opinion. -

@amblergee thank you! I wouldn't say brave, more that my conscience just couldn't keep up with the mental gymnastics any more. I was literally posting about closing my Amazon accounts on Facebook. The irony of announcing your exit from one billionaire's platform on another billionaire's platform was the final nudge I needed. Really glad to be here!

LOL Most places I have 500ish followers, and it doesn't change much.@philpetree @asmartbear 500 followers while finding the whole thing tedious is honestly impressive! I think that's part of why this place appeals to me. The pressure to perform and game algorithms just doesn't exist here.

@sophiekaz You're welcome here. Hope you find it worth while.
@nichni thank you so much! It's been wonderful so far - my only regret is that I didn't move sooner!

@sophiekaz Here I only have 61 followers and 5 of those are scammers. LOL
I post just as much here as I do elsewhere, I engage more here than elsewhere... so IDK what the difference is. -
