I think this is really important right now that folks know there are better options to social media. Especially as we are heading into a world where a select few have control over the main ways of communication. Truthfully, we need tech literacy in all public schools so citizens learn how to be able to protect their privacy. Self ownership seems like a good way but I still think the Fediverse isn’t user friendly enough for the population to have interest, yet I really hope we get to a point where it is. How can I help inform folks and how do we get tech literacy in schools as a basic foundational core class?

- Better on-boarding - For non-technically inclined users, Fedi can be challenging. I personally strongly oppose the “join by selecting instance” type sites. There should be an algorithm automatically signing up users based on region, refer header and perhaps some sort of random selection
- With respect to Threadi, when a user is logged in, all links to instance/communities should automatically be transformed to the “view via your instance format” ([email protected]).
- Movement to Piefed (I am aware I am posting from a Lemmy account, this one is used for managing [email protected], I used Piefed) - tankies are a major turn off for people across the globe and across the political spectrum.
- Target users who are recognize the severe dangerous of US oligarchy. More and more people are recognizing that the American model is a dead end.
- Target open source communities. I don’t understand why r/linux or r/BSD are not making a move to directing users towards Threadi
And most importantly: post, comment, upvote.
Note, I am doing some of these thing when I can.
