For once, in an article looking at alternatives to Big Tech the Guardian has acknowledge (and indeed given a half a paragraph to) Mastodon....

Its not the greatest write up but might encourage some more people to join us...

Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more

A handful of companies monopolise the web, with unprecedented access to our data. But there are many more ethical – and often distinctively European – alternatives

@ChrisMayLA6 I had a chat with a friend yesterday @Lizcable who has been quiet on here ..but we are looking at developing something to make it easier for non techy folk to use Mastodon and get off the bad places. I met her via an excellent 12 Days of Twitter course she developed many years ago and we've been trying to do something together ever since but feels like it is time.. so Month of Mastodon coming soon... when we have time and headspace to meet and hatch plans!

@stuffjolikes @Lizcable

Keep me in the loop - a 12 days of (to?) Mastodon would be great.... especially if got some traction on LinkedIn where lots of ex-X folk now seem to be posted more frequently
