Man kann ein Publikum auch ohne LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook & Co. erreichen, wenn man ein wenig Arbeit in unabhängige Lösungen steckt.
Derzeit kursieren wieder Meldungen, dass diesmal bei Facebook Organisationen ihre Business-Pages verlieren. Offenbar passen deren Inhalte Mark Zuckerberg nicht mehr ins Konzept. Website-Betreiber berichten, dass ihr Traffic von Google zusammenbricht. Die ehemalige Suchmaschine lässt stattdessen ihre KI fantasieren.
Wenn Du Leute kennst, die sich unabhängiger von Musk, Zuckerberg und den anderen Digital-Baronen machen wollen, finden die einige Tipps in meinem Blog - reiche den Link gerne weiter.

"Let me be crystal clear before we begin: I say all of the below with love for #thefediverse.. Deep, stubborn, open-source-loving, billionaire-eschewing love. I want the #OpenSocialWeb to win. But wanting it isn’t enough. If we want this thing to thrive we have to face the #userexperience sins head-on—and maybe even laugh at them a little along the way."

What definitions are people using for "Open Social Web"?
@fediforum is about ""Moving the Open Social Web Forward" and @laurenshof is doing a session on the Open Social Web. And @ben you've had multiple posts about it. So maybe I've just missed it, but at least so far I haven't been able to find any definitions.
They may share a suffix (and a protocol), but Blacksky isn’t hitching its wagon to the Bluesky app or team. Founder and CEO @rudyfraser.com is creating a new, fiercely independent playbook for communities — one made possible because of the flexibility of the open web. We're excited for you to hear the latest episode of @mike's Dot Social podcast:
