After a week of posting on IG/FB specific reasons for quitting commercial social media and then articulating options to replace plus my criteria for why I recommend Mastodon as a responsible replacement, I am now moving on to creating an online starter pack for how to join, use, and enjoy Mastodon. The best social communities are those built together with connections old and new. Bring a friend (or more!) to Mastodon! #DumpFacebook #DumpInstagram #SwitchToMastodon

Created a Friendica account and followed myself, but not seeing my first post here.
Do I need to do anything else or just wait for friendica.world to federate in my feed?

This is the beginning of my project to #dumpFacebook & #dumpInstagram in 2025

So now that META has shutdown their fact checking algorithms I think it's really time to ditch them. Trying to bring some of my friends over to Mastodon and gently asking them if they'll adopt or switch over to @signalapp App but it's a tough sell. #metaexodus #dumpfacebook #instaenough

I know the (social media) world will heal itself now that Facebook temporarily bans the accounts of people like my Father in Law who posts nothing but family related things. Apparently he logged on today to a lock-out notice.

He spent hours getting it unlocked.

Most people would probably just create a new account.

These late-stage capitalists are dumb.

I was in an office in town today and someone said Hey! I recognize you! You're Chris, you're Facebook Famous!

I haven't been on Facebook since 2021... so that's impressive I guess? Or scary? Or depressing? Definitely funny. I actually laughed.🤣 Had to politely say I haven't been on Facebook for almost 3 years.
