Main legacy social media apps suck. So let's switch everyone to better. I fully get the NoSocialMedia movement but we must remember that it is a thing because legacy social media is horrible.

Also it would be good to contact people internationally. So here are open source alternatives I hope you will try out then help others get on board:

Twitter ➡️ Mastodon

Instagram ➡️ Pixelfed, & Flashes

TkTok ➡️ Loops by Pixelfed, & Spark (Spark.so)

Discord ➡️ Stoat

Snapchat/Whatsapp ➡️ Sup

YouTube ➡️ PeerTube

Meetup ➡️ Mobilizon

Facebook ➡️ ???

Pinterest ➡️ ???

Amino ➡️ ???

Also potential solution for the Network Effect. Instead of having everyone switch fully from one to the other just have them have a foot on both sides till everyone switches over eventually

That's basically what Linux is doing and with time/usage people will get off them since they enjoy the experience of the better alternative. Brining others onto them too since they exist on both sides

I thousand agree with you in that sense

We should prioritize in-person communication and community

At same time big tech will not go away unless there are good alternatives for everything. Also if we abandon social media how will we be able to collaborate internationally with our allies at a moments for research/projects/initiatives/policy/etc. It is valuable for people tol

Social media definitely has an illusion of connection element to it but with the best open source social media apps then you can be connected to people you know, get news from around the world, and collab with people you would not have been able to before

It should never be the main way to connect with people. In-person will be. But it can be an add-on to improve world, & get things done
