We have a digital skills framework in the UK, mostly mentions facebook, whatsApp etc . There seems to be real barriers to even mentioning alternatives, I feel people should at least be aware they have the choice,

@calculsoberic@mstdn.social @syster and they can all talk to each other, peertube = youtube too

@calculsoberic@mstdn.social @syster Same for me,, you get to really interact with people which is more than I can say ever happens on Twitter.

@calculsoberic@mstdn.social @syster

There is a good explanation here but I get that, it's a new concept for people to grasp, the email analogy is good though

@eionmac I will havea look at the hosting options see if there is anything Eu / UK based, you may still need photo hosting, @write_as @pixelfed

@StuPendisdick@mstdn.io I think the point is people can re-train and there are skills you have from coal mining that surely are transferable to working in renewable energy sectors.

@JohanEmpa Indeed that counters what seems to be the argument from Unions about unemployment

INdeed and there is little danger of coal workers being unemployed as you should just retrain them to work in new greener industries.

surely there are transferable skills
