We have to unite to get enough people together so we can get rid of those Meta products, especially Instagram & WhatsApp!

!demeta@lemmy.world

wonder if you have partnered up with the various !degoogle communities like !degoogle@discuss.tchncs.de

would be welcome to promote over at !deshittification@thebrainbin.org

@Auster@thebrainbin.org @lincoln@discuss.tchncs.de @madeindex@lemmy.world

Would y'all be able to cross-promo each other's communities in the community info sidebar of each community? I think this would be mutually beneficial.

That ! thing is cool, I'm new to Lemmy, thanks for recommending it friend <3

No, I only recently found them! Thank you so much for the recommendations friend, are you by any chance an admin? we could recommend each others communities in the sidebar I think? :)

Great Idea, I would love that with other active communities.
Would you be interested? @CrypticCoffee@lemm.ee @Byereddithellolemmy @chevy9294@monero.town

You can also contribute to !DeMeta@lemmy.world if you like, if I set it up correctly anybody can post there :)

@CrypticCoffee@lemm.ee won't be notified. Lemm.ee shut down almost a year ago.

Well the problem is if you are on a different instace than the community, the link doesnt really help someone sub to the community. Using the !@ link will work across instances

I love the enthusiasm but do you think you will get the normal people to do this?

Alright so what is your comment doing to help get “the normal people” to do this?

im not. I don't think they will. I think we can be an option and we can stay away from it but getting everyone off of it would be like trying to get everyone to stop watching tv. I mean more power to you but I just don't see it happening. At least not in this we get everyone off way. I think we can improve till its just a better option. Its like science fiction and fantasy were niche things but hey lewis was kinda right that it was getting hip to be square. If people come it will be more organic and likely will also result in a lot of corpo prescence.

Eh. I have half a foot in terminally-onlineland and half a foot in normie-land and I don't use Facebook. One friend moving off Instagram got me to pull the trigger to do the same. It's possible, and showing people you can and some steps can help make it less intimidating.

nah, just post there a lot as a spite move against all the doom articles in a way that is productive instead of putting others down

Added degoogle and demeta to the deshittification sidebar.

Thanks for the suggestion!

was that friend online or in person. I always tell my friends and family to get off that trump but they have reasons and I get it. I mean im techinically on facebook I just don't go on it everyday and scroll. I check my condos page and if anyone messaged me in the last week or so. Im on linkedin but im looking for work. I don't generally post or interact with it as social media. Heck maybe thats why im not hired. "this guys linkedin is just a resume. no rah rah syncophantic bs. hes not a team player."

Thank you for the question!
Yes I think so, in the short time since reddit.com/r/DeMeta has been active (and hopefully !DeMeta@lemmy.world soon), there has been a surprising amount of people finding it helpful. The plan is to get a certain percent of all people to the other platforms, so once normies join there will be enough activity to keep them :)

E.g. if 25% of people only use Signal instead of WhatsApp, the others will very likely also keep it as a 2nd app and slowly maybe get away from WA :)

Awesome to hear friend <3
