@pixelfed the hardest part is getting people who haven't had to deal with constant nonsense bans to switch from mainstream platforms to alternatives like #pixelfed. Alas even when they DO get frequently banned, a lot refuse to leave (like a friend of mine who has three alt Facebook accounts they switch between as one gets a temporary ban...) They all give the excuse that "if I quit [mainstream platform] then I'll lose access to family and friends!" to which I say "if those people are really worth keeping in contact with, they'll follow you to the new platform." if nothing else, there's always email.

IDK I'll just keep trying to lure my mainstream platform followers to less faschy places by posting "hey go here to see the uncensored version of my content!" but something something horses, water, drink...
