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.

Writing… copy. *winks*

#NonSocialMedia

Dictionary: Not social; unconcerned with society or social matters.

#UnSocialMedia

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'?

@nestort @drq

@humanetech @nestort @drq

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

@humanetech
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

Fediverse - Connecting people beyond Social Notworks

@humanetech
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.
