@switchingsocial
Open source and fediverse is really cool, but I have simple and the most valuable question: how to move your contacts to fediverse things? For example, all my colleagues and family use telegram for personal messaging and slack for work-related things. Could you give me some ideas about how to "advertise" such tools like matrix for them?

Big props to @omgubuntu and @protonmail for putting Mastodon links on their website templates alongside their centralised social media links (see attachments)

This is great for normalising the concept of decentralised social media 👍

If you have a Fediverse account, please do mention it on your website! The more people see these icons, the more comfortable they will be finding out more.

CERN ditching Microsoft to 'take back control' with #OpenSource software https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/06/cern-ditch-microsoft-open-source-malt

In risposta a una class action riguardante il caso di #CambridgeAnalytica, i legali del #social network hanno dichiarato che #Facebook non può aver violato i diritti di #privacy degli utenti perché “non c’è nessuna attesa di privacy” su Facebook e che “non c‘è nessuna invasione della privacy, perché non c’è privacy”. In originale: “no expectation of privacy... There is no invasion of privacy at all, because there is no privacy.”
