Meine Erfahrungen mit dem #metaboycott bis jetzt: Instagram, überhaupt kein Problem. Wenn ich Bilder gucken will , geh ich auf Pixelfed. Facebook, temporär auch kein Thema. Habe mir aber die Veranstaltungen für diese Woche vorher rausgeschrieben. Dauerhaft aus diesem Grund noch nicht zu ersetzen. Friendica kann das theoretisch auch , aber da ist buchstäblich niemand, den ich kenne. Whatsapp ist sehr schwer, weil mich da die halbe Welt anschreibt mit zum Teil wichtiger Korrespondenz.
Jos näyttää siltä, että tällä viikolla olen täällä koko ajan, niin... siihen on syynsä.
