I firmly believe that decentralized, noncommercial social media is the only way to go. You can't trust a person who'd get rich off of "connecting people." I already have accounts on a Mastodon platform, Bookwyrm, and Pixelfed. I don't expect all these to last and that's OK. It's a time of upheaval, and a time of experimentation. I'm seriously considering hosting an instance if that's what it takes to get my family off facebook. Anyway, hello everyone. Nice to meet you.
