We are not a map, we are a database that you can use to create a map! YES! #sotm2020 #sotm

The mirroring of tweets from the twitter #SotM account (twitter.com/sotm) to the fediverse at @sotm should be working now. Maybe…

Twitter is not as friendly to 3rd party uses of our tweets as they used to be... 🙁 Please feel free to tell if if it's not working 😉

Some creatives in the #OSMPH page on FB shared this poster of Pinoy folks with presentations for #SOTM2020,

Viber is a popular messaging platform in the Philippines, and they just announced they're cutting their ties with Facebook and Instagram.

They are also "removing Facebook technical technology from Viber's own app" , which I take to mean as all those invasive means of tracking users so they can monetize from them.
