FediCon kicks off tomorrow in Vancouver 
And... our co-founder @michael is making the trip across the Atlantic to be there - that's over 7,460 km!
We wouldn't make these trips if we didn't believe in the Open Social Web and how it can be used to better the world.
In particular, Michael is looking forward to meeting all the amazing faces we speak to regularly online in person.
If you're there, say hello!

TFTD: Im currently cutting out carbs a lot to lose 3 kilos. It works, almost immediately you start losing weight. In the same way, Im retraining my socmed habit to include Lemmy*. Using Lemmy is a very good habit, increases activity, and encourages more people on it. Its great, already useful and active, but needs to grow.

Peninsula News Review · Central Saanich councillor calls on leaders to 'elbow up' on social media
I’ve been doing some thinking on how the #fediverse, the #opensocialweb etc relate to other causes, like #privacy, or #dataportability, or #digitalsovereignty, even the #righttorepair. It appears that ultimately they all want similar things for the users of technology:
More Digital Freedom.
Some people have been using this term for a long time, I’m thinking of adopting it to describe the broader cause. Thoughts?

The social graph is our lives reduced to data.
It's our relationships, our friends, our enemies, our lovers.
It's our likes, dislikes, and indifferences.
The social graph is the food we eat, and the drinks we drink. It's the medicines we take. The drugs we use.
It's our strengths and our weaknesses. Our neuroses, our reactions, and avoidances.
Our Social Graphs, from the viewpoint of capitalism, is the last bit of gold in the mountains of data centers we call the Internet.
