i want to write a guide for my friends who have realised they want to try fediverse. i would install a gts instance and a phanpy (both avail. in yunohost) and then start the guide with "hello. i'm really sorry this has to be more complicated from instagram, but blame those who fucked up the web, increasingly since 2004, but now we can unfuck it together. but we need some learning time. don't worry, everything will be ok."

oh, maybe i need stickers with QR code (link to unfuckthe.website and text "scan this to unfuck the web"

Unfuck The Web Now!

@prinlu Yes! Have been dreaming up similar ideas: was thinking along the lines of Resist Enshittification. Unfuck The Web will do nicely. Am in the process of deleting all of my corporate media accounts, and posts like these make me feel less like I'm a member of the tinfoil hat brigade.

Best wishes.

@cephasteom thank you. wish you luck and a lot of patience with the move away from Big Tech! 💛
