When I opened up Lemmy this morning I could not believe my eyes. The top story was a headline from Forbes stating:
« ‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media ».

The article mostly focused on #Pixelfed and did a fairly good job explaining how #ActivityPub works. But they spelled #Mastodon « Mastadon » over and over again with no links to it. Yikes.

B for the effort, but please editors do better!

Please join me in a round of applause for @elduvelle who, after reading my toot, reached out to the Forbes journalist, pointing out the "Mastadon" typo.

The typo has been fixed and the article is even linking to https://joinmastodon.org now 🥳

It just occurred to me that the Forbes article uses a stock photo of a hand holding up a smartphone with a bunch of apps from mainstream, for-profit social media... even if the piece is about the #Fediverse.

So on my to do list for today: recreating a similar photo showing Fediverse software instead. Like, how my actual phone looks like.

As a photographer, I feel it's my duty to do this.

I will give the pic a CC BY-ND license. Thoughts?

And fellow photographers will you join in?
