Ah call me crazy, I actually prefer the more terminal styled look of Lemmy.

I’m trying to convince people around me little by little to join me on alternatives left and right. (Easier said then done) Still gotta get some self hosting going.

Fb style networking in particular. I dunno man, I don’t know if I still want to be out there for anyone to find, companies to sell my data, …

Fb initially was a fun way to rediscover old contacts but really, it became more of aan annoyance to me than anything.

Lemmy is fun because you decide the content you get and it’s to the point. No extra bs, just txt and some pics.

I’m not sure if this a valuable tool to convince anyone but keep it in your favourites:

Gee, sounds a lot like you’re trying to boycot humans at your company… right back at ya assholes.

Well there’s a careful balance needed. With close friends who are likeminded you can share your idea and maybe it’ll land, but once you’re addressing a larger group of people with an idea that goes against the stream …

You can, however, slowly change the discourse around you. Don’t partake, if the conversation goes towards fb or they send you a link respond with “oh, I dunno I’m not using Facebook anymore”. (Or alternatively “oh gee man, this link won’t load on my phone.”)

I’ve found that being hard out of the gate (“because fuck Zuckerberg!!”) doesn’t really work on people who are in there. What does work is presenting an alternative they can relate to “man I stopped scrolling fb because it’s such a waste of time, went for a walk today”. That’s neutral and wholesome and they can’t really object to that.

It’s not direct but subtle, now you’ve planted the idea that there’s people outside of the fb hive mind. People who might be enjoying fulfilling lives outside of fb.

Best of luck, you’re not alone in this fight.

Depends on how you read it 🤷‍♂️

“On each continent” it doesn’t necessarily say that if you were to fall outside of a percentage that you automatically are born on a different continent.

(I’m just messin with ya)

I wonder where the data starts.

I mean technically each sperm/egg combo has the potential to become a human in some scenario.

Did they include each time someone knocks one out of the park on their own?
