Please make use of this Ferris still to encourage your friends on other, less cool social media services to join the resistance. #JoinFerris
Hat tip to @GreatBigTable for the #JoinFerris tag idea. Added that tag to the original post as an edit. That kind of thing makes me nervous since I am cautious about editing things that have already been boosted, but I think in this case it's ok.
Here's a version with the #JoinFerris tag if you want to use it to post on the other, lesser social media networks.
@ethanschoonover Next logical steps:
• open a shermerhigh.social server
• assign all incoming Twitter refugees the “Breakfast Club” role
• federate with @genehack’s server
#JohnHughesCinematicFediverse
@mjgardner @genehack I am ALL FOR THIS. You've seen my breakfastclub/mastodon post, right? https://mastodon.social/@ethanschoonover/109338584606029353
@ethanschoonover Not until you just pointed it out to me. My 0th #MastodonCakeDay / #FediverseCakeDay was only a week earlier. I have @adamcrussell to thank for that. (I moved to @SDF’s members-only server after pungling up for their “ARPA” membership and the open server’s database meltdown, but that’s a whole other story.)

@ethanschoonover I've seen a few more people use the #JoinFerris hashtag over on #Twitter. It makes me smile.

“Until I finish setting up https://t.co/cf85z68uCK for full #IndieWeb and #Fediverse peering you can find me on #Mastodon at https://t.co/pw76hJKalb If you need to verify me elsewhere or send me encrypted messages you can go to https://t.co/KPPsA73mJV”

@ethanschoonover I logged back in to my locked account just to post this. Thanks!

@pierrenick Same. I posted it to a couple accounts that are mostly mothballed, including Twitter where I've entirely stopped posting otherwise.

Like throwing out a message in a bottle.

@ethanschoonover And while I was at it, I saw so much interesting content on my feed (mostly retro computers stuff) and it mad some miss some of it. They all need to come here!
@pierrenick @ethanschoonover it's frustrating. I still see great content on the bird site when I pop over, but I have lost respect for the people who are providing it without attempting to migrate.
@ethanschoonover Thanks! I shared this with the #JoinFerris hashtag.
@GreatBigTable nice, i dig the tag. next time i post it I'll add that.

@ethanschoonover I downloaded the image and was going to repost…and then…I couldn’t be bothered. I was like eh…I don’t feel like it.

That’s pretty telling actually. Particularly since I then came back here and wrote this. One was worth the effort and one wasn’t. Huh.

@ethanschoonover I like the way you think. And meme.

@ethanschoonover random story: I went to a market research screening for the film Van Wilder Party Liaison. (Released as “Van Wilder”) I was invited to attend the focus group afterwards. While talking about the film I mentioned Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and the marketing team had never heard of it. Fast forward a few years and Ryan Reynolds includes a Ferris Bueller reference at the end of Deadpool.

I can claim it was me that gave him the idea. You can’t disprove it.

@ethanschoonover Shared this on my bird site accounts. Thinking about also using it on Facebook lol ;)
