I know many people who are aware of the importance of #FreedomRespecting software, data, and culture - and the related issues of digital sovereignty and privacy.
Paradoxically, a lot of these people also participate in, or even maintain, communities hosted on #nonfree / #proprietary / #restricted or #centralized platforms like #Telegram, #Discord, #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Instagram, #Facebook, #Twitter, #LinkedIn, #Bluesky, #GitHub, and others.
To state the obvious, each community which chooses a proprietary platform - or bridges to it - is also giving another reason for others to be on that platform. It’s reinforcing network effect.
Conversely, if these communities chose to move to free platforms, their members would be forced to move as well. In other words, these communities have the opportunity to push for change on a massive scale.
Sure, you have to reach out to people on proprietary platforms, if that’s where the majority are. But you cannot be stopping there - you must have a strategy to move people away from proprietary platforms to free platforms.
To give the example of #OpenStreetMap -
- I announce events on free platforms sooner
- I remind people on proprietary platforms that they should join the free platforms to get notified earlier
- After each event, we invite people to our #XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
- All organizational talk takes place on our XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
- I minimize my participation on proprietary platforms, and communities which bridge to them. The bulk of my activity happens on free platforms.
- I have never submitted data to Mapillary or KartaView, because their clients and servers are proprietary. All my contributions go to #WikimediaCommons and #Panoramax.
So to these spineless people who are choosing and effectively promoting proprietary platforms, I ask…
How do you think things are going to change, if everyone keeps choosing what is easiest for them, and keeps choosing, supporting, and promoting proprietary platforms?
What part are you playing in making things better? Or are you just going to go with the flow of the world, even if you know it to be wrong?
They don’t like answering these questions.
Instead, I invite them to find the integrity and courage to answer them.
Or, to find the integrity and courage to make the obvious change and do the obvious right thing.
People hate it when I bring this up. Sorry, but my conscience dictates that I speak up for what is right. Silence is complicity, and it gets us nowhere.

私もZUNさんと同じ日にBlueskyを使い始めた。「X(Twitter)ではない場所」の1つとして、自分なりの意味や目的を持ちながら使えていると思う。
固定投稿にも書いたように、いちユーザーとしての自分のアクティビティが、「X(Twitter)ではない場所」の発展に多少なりとも寄与することを願いつつ、これからもBlueskyやFediverseを使っていきたい。

ZUNさんと同時期にBlueskyアカウントを開設した東方外來韋編（公式マガジン）や東方よもやまニュース（公式・公認情報サイト）は、この1年間Blueskyで継続的に発信してくれてる。
東方よもやまニュースは、Bridgy Fedを通じてFediverse（MastodonやMisskey）からもフォローできる（下記参照）。
アクティブな公式系アカウントが存在することは、相互につながるソーシャルネットワーク全体の利用価値を高めると思う。

今日で東方Project原作者のZUNさんがBlueskyアカウントを開設して1年経つ。
2024年9月にX(Twitter)アカウントを乗っ取られ、X運営に凍結依頼を出したものの、対応の遅さや意思疎通のしにくさに不満を持っていたことが、当時のZUNさんの投稿（下記）で綴られてる。
最近は書籍やゲームの制作で忙しかったためか、あまりお顔を見せていないけど、思い出した時に空の様子を見に来てほしいな。
