The TikTok ban and Donald Trump's rise to power show how fragile our social media accounts are. We must normalize and invest in decentralized social media.

    Checked the rules and I think this is allowed? But if you’ve still got reddit and don’t mind being a fediverse evangelist please go consider hitting this thread: https://reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1i6rp3o/decentralized_social_media_is_the_only/

      Could you maybe edit your comment to something like

      "Lemmy has 42k monthly active users

      • https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
      • https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
      • https://vger.app/ if you want an app

      Feel free if you have any questions"

      join-lemmy isn’t the best for user onboarding: https://lemmy.world/post/24220536?scrollToComments=true

        I agree but let’s be honest. That may be how it worked in revolutionary France but that wasn’t how it worked in the US in the 20th century. The “3rd Places” that most people were involved in were union halls, civic organizations, and social societies. We’ve largely forgotten that history, but it’s not something we can get back without organizing online first.
