@dansup good call!

Though the ethical alternatives are competing for time and attention with the non-ethical ones.

Deceptive patterns then give the non-ethical alternatives the "higher ground", forcing the ethical alternatives to fight an uphill battle.

One way to circumvent that, is to not fight the fight. To position your ethical alt. as something that can be used besides, or on-top-of the non-ethical alt. Instead of being antagonistic to this alt. In language and features.

Does anyone have any good resources for running your own Mastodon Instance that I could point people to? I want to encourage people to start their own instances and make more diverse communities, but it's really daunting without some kind of guide/introduction to the whole MastoAdmin thing.

I know about https://runyourown.social/, are there any others out there? ^^

@mike_hales @Rheall As for hosting, you can host on an old PC, rasPi, or VPS plus they even provide a free subdomain *nohost.me which takes care of all the DNS issues ... really, really awesome! I host #peertube #mastodon #wp and #nextcloud from an old Core2Duo with 4gb ram:)

The reboot of the indymedia project

We are a wide affinity group working to reboot the global indymedia network using modern federated protocols such as #activitypub.

If you have done so, let me know how. I'd love to know.

We can (try to) fix Big Tech or we can fix the internet. Big Tech will either figure it out and survive or it won't. Their products are optional, but we NEED the internet.

Still love how random spammers will try to get me to post their links on my very good website, or offer to write some thinkpieces for it.

It's a personal blog, chief. The only author is me. Go start your own blog.

@debian @kde so, long story short. Scratch your own itch was something I thought was a fun statement from hackers such as myself some 25 years ago, but it turns out it is key to transforming entire industries.
