Switch to Public Social Media
Publicly owned digital media is our only protection against the oligarchy's total control of public information.
X to #Mastodon, Instagram to #Pixelfed, WhatsApp to Signal, Reddit to #Lemmy, Facebook Messenger to #Signal, Facebook to #Friendica, YouTube to #PeerTube, TikTok to #Loops
Note #Bluesky is owned by VCs and crypto bros. It is NOT public social media. Even if you are on Bluesky join #PublicSocialMedia today.
@contrapunctus@en.osm.town@mastodonmigration Obligatory reminder that #Signal relies on a centralized and proprietary server, and does not belong here.
Users of #WhatsApp #Telegram #Discord #Signal and #Threema etc should use #XMPP instead, which is #FreeSoftware and federated.
Users - check out #Quicksy (Android and iOS), #Prav, #Conversations, #Cheogram, #MonoclesChat, #Gajim, #Movim, #Monal...
Self-hosters, check out #Snikket.

@contrapunctus @mastodonmigration also #matrix is a possibility
