This past week, I've been having dinners with my extended family—and they're now all extremely interested in what I'm working on.
Previously, de-centralized social media was a hard sell.
But now everyone understands the appeal, and they're intently asking how it all works.
My mom—who has no computer proficiency whatsoever, and pretty much stays on Facebook—has heard about Mastodon in the news.
That's pretty amazing!
@atomicpoet I know where I can find a great discussion on that to send them :)
@atomicpoet My dad’s only on Facebook too, and I told him I found this other site, and he said oh that mammoth site? It really is getting noticed.
@atomicpoet wait, what???
@yuki2501 Yeah, it's quite surreal.
@atomicpoet Get her setup on Freindica yet?
@atomicpoet Vindicated, woot. :D
@atomicpoet
Yeah, hard sell on de-centralized social media and open source os. It seems easier than the 1312 de-fund the police conversations tho.. Haha
