<![CDATA[We’re leaving Facebook / Instagram / Meta / X.]]>We’re leaving Facebook / Instagram / Meta / X.

We no longer want to contribute to platforms whose algorithms amplify hate, polarization, and AI-driven propaganda.

We will remain active on Mastodon and Reddit.

Question for you: which platforms do you think we should also be active on?

Bluesky is as toxic.
Just keep Fediverse (Mastodon, maybe Lemmy) and RSS (for the fully open-web). Nothing else is really needed.

Also try the new Palestinian social media app: UPSROLLED.

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"
https://video.folkdata.se/c/tech/videos

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

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.

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!]]>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://dillyofapickle.com/objects/8aa28c03-2069-a981-4279-0e2790833029https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://dillyofapickle.com/objects/8aa28c03-2069-a981-4279-0e2790833029Thu, 05 Mar 2026 13:12:34 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to We’re leaving Facebook / Instagram / Meta / X. on Thu, 05 Mar 2026 12:56:06 GMT]]>@novacustom

I notice that 1) you are not leaving and 2) you don't have 🤓

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 is allergic to "real identity" person platforms so they have not been developed.

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

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...

The only other viable option I see, besides the Fediverse given that you already have a presence in it via Mastodon, would be Eurosky: https://www.eurosky.tech/.

Basically, you can access Bluesky and other AT-Protocol-based solutions, but with your data hosted in Europe (in the Netherlands as far as I know).

I haven't tested yet, even though I received my invitation codes for myself and my company. Any feedback or thoughts are welcome.
