@sophiekaz welcome to the fediverse:)
@jackson_sweater thank you so much! So happy to be here

@sophiekaz It's interesting... most of my posts on here is like screaming into the void but I do keep posting.
@philpetree Ha, I know that feeling from Instagram! I think it depends a lot on hashtags and timing here. I'm brand new so maybe I'm still in the honeymoon phase, but the engagement so far has been way more than I expected. Keep going!

@sophiekaz@mastodon.social โwelcome to the club!
There are quite a few of us on the Fediverse attempting to figure out business plans to help continue funding the Fediverse.From hosting platforms, to looking for grants, to building out services for people, to just educating.
Thank you for joining us.
There are quite a few of us on Matrix in the Fediverse Developer Network space: matrix.to/#/#fediverse-develโฆ
Also if you really wanna get started, could I suggest the FediForum coming up in just a few weeks. it's an unconference that's online where we discuss everything about the Fediverse. fediforum.org/
Also I'm more than happy to help discuss anything as well. I run BT Free, btfree.org, as a nonprofit attempting to figure things out as well.
@ozoned This is incredibly generous, thank you! I'll check out FediForum and BT Free. I'm genuinely interested in how the Fediverse sustains itself long term. Really appreciate the links and the offer to chat.

Hello, Fediverse
I'm Sophie. I run a digital ops consultancy from the south of France, working with purpose-led businesses.
I'm in the process of leaving Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I got tired of building on platforms that sell our data, gut safety systems to please politicians, and treat people as products.
Still figuring it all out. Would love to connect.

welcome! I did the same in mid 2024, have been very happy here, and hope you will be too.
I got rid of facebook, instagram, twitter, and google and my life became simpler, more private, and better overall.@mrose That's really good to hear! Getting rid of Google too is impressive! I'm not quite there yet but one step at a time. Already feels lighter just being here a few hours.

Welcome!What is your super power?
@eoinho Thank you! I see the structure underneath things and shape it. Sometimes it's sitting at a piano and finding the shape of a feeling. Sometimes that's helping small businesses find order in their chaos.
What's yours?

Welcome @sophiekaz I am also fairly new to this. You mentioned LinkedIn, is there a fediverse alternative?
@teedubyeah welcome to you too! I don't think there is a real Fediverse equivalent to LinkedIn yet, thatโs still a big gap. The closest thing right now is using Mastodon for professional networking: there are already some really engaged professional communities there, so itโs a good place to start while things evolve. If you learn of anything new, please let me know!
