We’re leaving Facebook / Instagram / Meta / X.

[richarddebruin@mastodon.social]

@novacustom mastodon, lemmy, pixelfed, rss and yes maybe eurosky

[ikuturso@mastodon.social]

@Skyper @novacustom an Eurosky account is still completely dependent on the American Bluesky corporation, doesn't really have almost any benefits over just using their PDS too and is even funded by Americans. The Dutch foundation is just a shell chaired by an American that seems to have been created for the express purpose of making it appear Free Our Feeds / Eurosky is more European than it really is...

@novacustom

I notice that 1) you are not leaving #linkedin and 2) you don't have #rss

For most web platforms RSS is built-in so you might want to consider it as a quick-win.

About Linkedin, alas there is no decent alternative, the #fediverse is allergic to "real identity" person platforms so they have not been developed.

You might also want to try #eurosky (the fediverse is allergic to that too ) - its likely to be less "convivial" but maybe broader reach if that is important to you.

@novacustom If you ever plan on making a lot of video clips, might not be a bad idea to set up either a Peertube and/or Loops. Mastodon is fine but video is not its primary medium and if that matters for how you interact those may be a logical fit. Huge supporter of your decision to leave the platforms you've specified!

[skyper@fosstodon.org]

@ikuturso @novacustom Agreed, I'm aware of it, and that's why I only recommend Fediverse platforms around me. That's said, from a business perspective, to reach a broader audience, it doesn't seem to be a bad idea. It's a trade-off I think. But if you have counter-arguments, please share, I'm all ears.

@novacustom great move!

Other services depends on what type of content you create, but there's Loops for short clips (insta, tiktok), pixelfed for images (insta) and PeerTube for videos (YouTube). I wish more companies would put their stuff on PeerTube. Here's my "collection"

Then there's also Lemmy for Reddit. I never got into that myself, but worth trying out.

@leanderlindahl @novacustom Came to post this, but much less elegantly.

@novacustom
Also try the new Palestinian social media app: UPSROLLED.

[yezanek@mastodon.social]

@novacustom Reddit is as bad (if not worse) than X. Bluesky is as toxic.
Just keep Fediverse (Mastodon, maybe Lemmy) and RSS (for the fully open-web). Nothing else is really needed.
