Dear friends, is there a way to keep in touch without using Facebook? I’ll be leaving the platform soon, as well as Instagram, Twitter (X) and eventually Whatsapp. Do you use other social media channels? Please let me know.
You can reach me via the contact page of my website, on LinkedIn, Mastodon, Bluesky (two alternatives to Twitter), Friendica (a Facebook alternative), Pixelfed (an alternative to Instagram) and Signal (a Whatsapp alternative). Of course, you can always reach me in person—at the pub, for instance, over a ‘social beer’.
I must admit, this move is a bit of a hassle. I found it quite a challenge to navigate the world of new, open-source, decentralized social media, but I’ve discovered many great and fun alternatives. If you are searching as well, I’d be happy to help.
Let’s keep in touch!
