Why the hell do we call it #SocialMedia?
Shouldn't it be #CommercialMedia?

At least recent events at #Twitter and #Reddit should indicate that. Who's next? #LinkedIn?

Please keep #Mastodon and the #Fediverse free from that kind of commercial interests. Help out your admins and support your local instances (financially)!

Maybe i should pull the plug not only on twitter, but also on all other #CommercialMedia networks. Goodbye LinkedIn, Facebook, Insta, Reddit and co.

Everything into fediverse, my own blog and server. #ownYourData

Yeah, I know, only the privileged can do this. Who does not know how or can not afford renting a server is dependent on others to provide such services. That’s true. Thats why it is important to build regional or interest-driven communites.

@davidlohner LinkedIn is hard for me, I almost never use it but I’m connected there to most of my previous colleagues, and get a lot of contract work out of those networks.
