:alerta: I #DIDit Today I published my very last post on Instagram! It took me some time to prepare this sad moment, but I am happy it's here now. I shared @_elena great introduction video and wrote in the captions about how the Fediverse is such great place for creatives, artists, hobbyists, tinkerer, writer, art lovers, photographers, blogger, nerds and just everybody. And how one can find interesting people to talk to, original artworks, diverse communities and discover great music and journalism... and all this without annoying ads or stupid algorithms. :blobcatheartbongo: 💪 I've even (hello non tech person here!) made a little website for my friends with some info and links to help them switch to the Fediverse. #TheFutureIsFederated 💜 :fediverse: #DiDay #DID #DigitalIndependenceDay ##GlobalSwitchDay #DigitalSovereignty #DUTgemacht

@jill @_elena Well done. I only have Instagram left now that Twitter and Facebook have gone. As a photographer too many models just use Instagram for their messaging. I’ll get there eventually.

@jill may I ask you how did you "prepare" to leave? I left Facebook long time ago, but i'm having a hard time quitting Instagram - a kind of addiction maybe? Mostly because i already know my friends or favourite local accounts will not join the Fediverse..

@jill It's good to read :D I just started my journey of detaching from the Google-Meta marketing machine, but it's already so much fun. It somehow feels like the internet I knew when I was a kid.
