  • Here’s my idea: https://polarhive.ml/blog/fedi-first/ #FediFirst is a cool hashtag you can adopt, especially if you have accounts on other centralized platfroms.

    I see many people having cross posting bots stuff. Usually they treat centralized platforms as the priority and forget about their old fediverse accounts. To solve this quite simply reverse the platforms. Treat fediverse as your primary platform.

    The only reason to be on YouTube or some proprietary service is to get everyone to join the fediverse and discover alt-platforms through your account. It siphons the user previously trapped in proprietary, shadow banning, legacy platform into the fediverse. Make sure to leave links in your bio or change your channel-photo/banner which suggests the same.

    So for example that means posting your PeerTube videos to YouTube a week or 2 later or unfollowing everyone, archiving your account. Deleting old posts and such.

    I try to do this everywhere, like opting for Matrix over Discord, Codeberg over Github, etc and not drive traffic to centralized platforms. Oh, and also redirect.invidious.io and nitter.net are cool!


    Any ideas, suggestions? or do you know where else I should cross post this?
