From tonight's executive meeting: Facebook's where you go to get shit on. Instagram is a one way street. Mastodon's where people will talk to you.
I think I made a good pitch? Time to brainstorm a presentation/training for em.

Gonna bring my #MastoCanadaGOV fliers and Local Loudmouth contact cards with me today. Likely joining the EDA as a member at large. Gotta see if I can convince them to bring their comms out to open social media and have a presence year round instead of just when the writ drops. The candidate was SO good with content but Meta inflates stats in lieu of actual engagement. Maybe we can also reclaim and update their website from ten years ago.

Hmm today might be a good day to work on a presentation for folk to adopt Mastodon
Key points:
- studies that show algorythms fast tracking to fascist content
- Facebook's "pivot to video" history lesson as proof you can't trust their numbers
- Big Tech oligarchs cozying up to the US regime, and loosening moderation against hate speech
- engagement on legacy platforms are based on dedicated haters and trolls

It is almost time to start my local guerella marketing for Mastodon. Brainstorming places to get the message out around #yxe and hoping to find others in the province looking to to the same
- dropping off at local politicians' offices for #MastoCanadaGOV
- zines for little free libraries touting #bookstodon ?
- print out the official A4 posters for public spaces?
- ads in community association newsletters? -

Working on a spreadsheet, because I'm that kind of a nerd. Would you look at all these essential city services and information channels that rely on american oligarch owned platforms? Anyone in Regina feeling a little ignored by your city?

I really, really wish my friends in the #SaskNDP were posting these to open social networks. Jordan McPhail does such a great job here but it is, like, physically painful to click through to Facebook to watch it
