I know it can be challenging to convince people to migrate, but it’s crucial that we keep spreading awareness. I recently tried posting about decentralized alternatives on r/tiktok, but it seems the post was suppressed. I ended up sharing the same message as comments in relevant discussions instead.
Even small actions matter. If each of us can introduce just three people to the Fediverse—and they do the same—we can create a ripple effect that drives real growth.
Personally, alongside talking with my students, I’ve started running free workshops in Montreal on “deGAFAMing” your digital life. The first sessions had only 5–6 attendees, but the online version I’m hosting in February already has 30 registrations. I’ve even helped a small organization transition from Google Workspace to Nextcloud.
No matter how small your action may seem, every effort counts. Keep sharing, keep inviting, keep building. The future of the internet depends on it.
Here is a message aimed at tiktok users you could share around:
*If we leave TikTok for another proprietary app, we're just moving from one walled garden to another. Sooner or later, the same issues—censorship, political control, or corporate takeover—will follow us there.
Loops is a decentralized alternative. No single company, political group, or billionaire can buy it or control what you see. You own your space. You shape your feed. You keep your voice.
Yes, Loops is smaller right now—and it might take a little time to adjust. But with your help, it will grow into the vibrant, free, and people-powered platform we deserve
I use the "Cloud to Butt" firefox extension for a while and I must say it was a good time being constantly reminded that I can store various things in my butt.
A small good news-ish, thanks. A couple of years ago I would have tell you this is far from the minimum that should be done, but hey, in the current fascist dystopia I'll stfu and take it.
If I was a God believer, I would think God created covid to give americans a chance to get rid of the pedo-dictator before it was too late. Jan 6 was a bonus to make sure he was sent to prison. But then.... it's the USA, where being a selfish under-educated racist is basically a skill.
Unpopular opinion, I can kind of see why they want to bring AI features. I would much ratter like they rely on third parties plugins for AI implementation, but if some AI features becomes standard in next couples of months/years, people will blame them for not have jumped on that train. I'm really skeptical about all of this but I'm willing to wait and see what exactly they have in mind. I won't hesitate to switch to a fork if it's some google-like bullshit. Careful Mozilla, we are legions to watch your next move.
He's far from done, it's not even been a yearm USA is pretty much done at this point, I doubt their will be anything close to a reel election before decades, if it ever happen again. The real question is much of the rest of the world pedonald will take down with him.
You serioulsy underestimate him. If there's one thing you should have learn from pedonald by now, is that he can always go lower. Next week, I can picture him posting an AI image of the Virgin Mary blowing his cock with the title "I'ts huge", and some maga pastor would call it master trolling.
I'm a mix of "I tried to look serious with these clean pants, shoes, and coat" and "I'll just put on my old Bad Religion t-shirt with it, no ones really cares anyway."
Right? When I was a kid we didn't need all these fancy buckets and soft toilet paper. We just started to work at 14 and get our own house at 15, paying the full 2000$ cash. Bunch of snowflakes.
Funny how Zuck thought our lives were so miserable we would all throw ourselves into his virtual shit, just to realize most people actually have real friends they hang out with.

That’s why we should try Loops instead. https://loops.video/
