I #DIDit
Today I published my very last post on Instagram!
It took me some time to prepare this sad moment, but I am happy it's here now.
I shared @_elena great introduction video and wrote in the captions about how the Fediverse is such great place for creatives, artists, hobbyists, tinkerer, writer, art lovers, photographers, blogger, nerds and just everybody. And how one can find interesting people to talk to, original artworks, diverse communities and discover great music and journalism... and all this without annoying ads or stupid algorithms. 
💪 I've even (hello non tech person here!) made a little website for my friends with some info and links to help them switch to the Fediverse.

@aimee80 First I started looking for alternative ways to get information and updates e.g. from artists, galleries etc. and made a backup from my IG data. Then in turns, I cleaned up my bookmarks, posts and stories, while remembering good times and wonderful encounters.
At the same time I made myself familiar with the Fediverse and its possibilities, well and the mostly fun crowd here.
As mentioned, I also made a little site for my friends, which also took some time, since I am not used to this kind of tinkering.
Yes, like you said it can be an addiction and I get that it is hard as f... and there are so many good reasons to stay, but for me the reasons for leaving (as stated in Elena's video) outweigh those.
At the end it is an individual choice about what is more important to oneself in regards of integrity, ideals, good conscience, values and personal health.
Or in totally different words: Life is too short! 😁

in reply to Jill ☁️ • • •It's good to read 😁 I just started my journey of detaching from the Google-Meta marketing machine, but it's already so much fun.
It somehow feels like the internet I knew when I was a kid.

If you'd like start by filling out your bio a little (otherwise it could appear a bit creepy). Post an introduction with e.g. the #introduction and #NewHere.
Highly recommend checking out this thread, even it's on another server.
mastodon.art/@Curator/10933093…
And give @FediTips a follow. Their site will probably answer all the questions you might have regarding the Fediverse.
