Delete your #Facebook and go join #Friendica instead. Trust me you'll have a better time, and still enjoy the same features for the most part.

Delete your #Instagram and go join #Pixelfed. It has a lot of the same features and it is free, doesn't have ads, and isn't run by a corporation.

Delete your #Threads, #Bluesky, or #Twitter account, and go join #Mastodon. Trust me you won't miss anything from them since Mastodon is a lot like them without the ads, or the corporate shittyness.

Go try out #LoopsVideo instead of #TikTok. It is shaping up to be a great alternative to TikTok.

Go try out #PeerTube it is a lot like #YouTube, and it doesn't have ads, nor any of the crap that comes from being owned by #Google.

Go try out #OwnCast it is a lot like #Twitch, but it is more free and doesn't have ads ruining the live streams.

Are you at #UbuntuSummit and just happen to have nothing going on at 12:00? Boy do I have good news for you! Join me in the Sigma room to talk about open source livestreaming with #owncast.

Just saw somebody spin up a new #Owncast server and said "If I’m gonna pay to play, ima pay for my own server".

What a great way to put it. I love that.

Also look into stuff that's available on the Internet archive. There's loads of good stuff in the public domain. Most days I just sit and watch RetroStrange on #owncast

It's that time of year again, #Hacktoberfest is approaching!

#Owncast is encouraging people to participate by offering our own t-shirts on top of the regular Hacktoberest shirt!

Read more about how you can contribute this year, even if you're not a developer at our Hacktoberfest page:
