We have a lot of options for all social media and other apps, but it is hard to catch people’s attention. How can we make more people use these platforms rather than a platform that p.dophiles run

    Open source does not have billions of dollars to spend on marketing.

    We can work together to polish apps/software and use word of mouth. This will help to grow these other options.

    Explosive growth is driven by large dollar amounts. Think LinkedIn being included as a shortcut in Windows, or every phone coming with Facefuck pre installed.

    Until we can get people away from platforms owned by major corporations we will not be able to shrug off the programs they push on people.
