There's BigPharma
There's BigAg
There's BigTech
But is there a way the say specifically #BigSocial, ie. a way to describe the #SocialMediaGiants (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube specifically) in three syllables or less?
We don't feel comfortable using a term like #BigSocial, it just doesn't have the negative connotation that is needed.
Maybe the term "#dotcons" is the one to use…
Watch this space @humanetech, @nestort, @drq et al.
@humanetech
Thanks but seven syllables is too much. Not snappy enough.
Dictionary: Not social; unconcerned with society or social matters.
Dictionary: Having or showing a lack of desire for the company of others. Not social; not adapted to society; not tending to sociability; reserved; unsociable.
#SociopathMedia
#WebOfHate
#SocialMess
#TheVanityWeb
#SocialNil
#SocialZilch
@humanetech
We like #VanityWeb, might be useful for some situations. Terms that center around #AntiSocialMedia, like UnsocialMedia are good but still too long.
Maybe #Fakebooks is more specific/better than dotcons.
The line is either, "Protect your family from the dotcons…"
or
"Protect your family from the fakebooks…"
then
1. Find a Fediverse server you like (…)"
2. …
3. …
BTW which is more understandable to the lay person, 'server' or 'instance'?
Almost forgot BigData:
"Protect yourself and your loved ones from Big Data…"
"Social (control) Media" is too long for the line.
@dsfgs
I ❤️ "Social Control Media"

SocialNotworks is brilliant.
- Relates to social media tick,
- Pun tick,
- Censorship kinda tick,
- No ability to organise grassroots action, tick,
- General dysfunction tick,
- Only caveat is some will say, it works for me, well then thats fine we are not targetting these people.
- Other caveat is it "works" for the 0.01% bit for a different use case. But again, not targetting these.
We may have a winner.

I agree, "SocialNotworks" is great

We're delighted to report that multiple people have access to the FediFlyer design, now. We anticipate that soon it will be hosted on a couple websites.
If you'd like an early copy or can help translate into languages that are not english, drop a DM with your preferred email and we'll send you a copy. Its CC-SA-Attribution licenced, but we won't come after you with an axe for doing anything with it.
@dsfgs @humanetech @nestort @drq @witchescauldron
Is this to help promote the fediverse?, happy to host on my blog,
@zleap
Here are the SHA256es.
We wont be able to send for a while but expect files soon. Keep in mind we are most into Pleroma, for a number of reasons.

Just seen your e-mails too, thanks, flyers look great
@dsfgs @humanetech @nestort @drq @witchescauldron
Who should I cite as the creator and link to ?
@zleap
Thanks for asking, it says DESIGN: DSFGS 'Fair Go' on the flyer so you can say CreativeCommons by DSFGS and link to our profile at activism.openworlds.info/@dsfgs
That's plenty enough. Much appreciated!
