To fellow Hiveans, better options of social media are quite obvious, but as a friendly reminder, there are also better options for so many other digital things. Options for Google products, mega-monster social media corporations, and USA-made things. That is, if you for some reason would want to boycott them.
Support and use:
decentralized, open-source, smaller, and/or local businesses.
Say no to:
lies, hate, bullies, racism, fascism, dictators, occupation, annexation, genocide. Taking away from the poor and giving it to the rich.
It's not much what I or you can do. A tiny drop in the vast ocean. But I hope there are thousands, tens of thousands, and perhaps millions of others doing tiny and not-so-tiny things. Saying out loud facts about what is happening out there in the world. And taking a stance. Saying that it's not okay. Protest. Take your money elsewhere.
For us Hiveans, we already know a bunch of cool dapps.
So there's the decentralized part.
Here's a cool website that lists a big bunch of European alternatives if you find that you've mostly used U.S.-made and want that to change.
So come and say hi if you're in Pixelfed or Mastodon. (Or here. You can say hi here also.)
Or if you'd like to share any digital products that you use that are not U.S.-made or respect privacy or are decentralized or are made by smaller businesses or are just something you think I, as a Finn, do not know of.
Yes, there are lots that I don't know of, not because I'm a Finn but because of personal interests and laziness, so I order you to tell me what I might not know of because you don't know what I know before you ask me if I know about it.
Oh, but wait a minute. If you tell me something I don't know, then it's no longer something I don't know because you've told me about it, so... this is a Schrödinger's insanebrainwave that we have here.
Uh.
Finally, I'd like to finish this with words of great social and political import.
#GulfofMexico, #GolfodeMexico, #Meksikonlahti, #Mexikanskagolfen, #GolfvonMexiko, #GolfeduMexique, Gulf of Mexico, Golfo de México, Meksikonlahti, Mexikanska golfen, Golf von Mexiko, Golfe du Mexique, Gulf of Mexico.

These are Insaneworks creatures giving you alternatives.
