Big Tech platforms routinely censor any mention of the , so I've started designing, printing, and placing these stickers around town.

No idea if they get any scans, but I figure simply getting the word "fediverse" out there might raise the consciousness a little.

Any ideas for slogans that might pique the interest of facebook-addicted normies?

Edit: I'm so glad this post has gotten so much attention, because I think it's a good idea, and I'd love to see others run with it. I know nothing about making stickers and wouldn't have made these had I not been gifted a small toy printer with a few rolls of sticker paper. Hopefully someone out there can do a more professional job of it :)

Three small white stickers each with qr code and the following black text, respectively: "Big tech thinks you're stupid. Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net" "cats not capitalism. Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net" "Anarchy not Algorithms Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net"

"Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the 'biggest waves of censorship' on its platforms in years."

'[Tingo], you're into these things. Please help [children] understand these new laws.'

'You're not banned from social media. US companies are banned from giving you an account. Knock yourselves out getting around it, no-one can stop you.'

My goal to spend way less time on social media is going well so far. 😃 I'm posting a lot less and I've started opening the Flipboard app instead of social media. Scrolling through Flipboard is a lot more calming than being subjected to all the rage bait and yelling on Meta apps.

Everything has gone to...

In January 2023, @pluralistic used the term "enshittification" on his blog, pluralistic.net, to describe the deterioration process of the TikTok network.

Enshittification consists of four stages:

1. Platforms are good for users

2. Platforms abuse users to be good for business customers

3. Platforms abuse business customers to keep all the profit

4. Platforms die

Wow! My blog post on why I hate Threads has 15 views! And I only uploaded it 4 hours ago, I didn't expect it to get so many views already. 😅

Lol shared this blog post on Threads. I'll see how many unfollows I get on there. 😅 People are strangely defensive of Meta considering it's owned by a billionaire. 2/?
