once peertube and pixelfed and all of these platforms become stable and feature rich enough for everyday use, how do we teach literacy to people who aren’t nerds

Twitter was not bad because "hashtags this" or "trends that". Twitter was bad because:

1. Centralized.
2. They forced you to ID yourself with a phone number.
3. They hand your data to third party companies.
4. Most governments were using it to ID people saying bad things about them.
5. Ads and corporative campaigns.

Perhaps not the most exciting but is an absolute dream to run on my Entroware Triton. Thanks @Wimpress.

I like #mastodon. Many friendly peoples here. 😉

I've just discovered mps-youtube (mpsyt). It lets you search youtube songs, play them, and make and save playlists without adverts. If you play YouTube music all day, you need this in your life.

Open source's nature is to fade into the background and go unnoticed except by those whose work touches it directly. It is the plankton of computing. We all breathe, but few of us stop to think about where the oxygen is coming from.
