Most importantly, stop putting institutional events on Facebook, stop using it at universities, stop making participation in Facebook mandatory through your institutional, organization, and activist roles. You can be online, and social, and connected without supporting Facebook.
@omanreagan I wish there were better tools to do these things off of Facebook.
@ajroach42 @omanreagan meetup, eventrbite and moodle for universities? Off the top of my head..
@mikedd How exactly other cebttalised, proprietary, for-profit platforms like eventbrite or meetup are better than facebook?
As far as I can rembember, eventbrite's terms of use are shitty…
@devnull @ajroach42 @omanreagan well..I guess, yeah, that makes sense. So what then?
@mikedd What about using/recommending better tools (decentralised libre software), or of it doesn't exist yet, build/fund it?
@devnull @ajroach42 @omanreagan yeah that's what I meant. What would you recommend? I can't really think of any since I don't use anything for those kind of tasks..
@mikedd Well, that's a good question. My needs are quite simple (knowning who'll be there and/or deciding which moment suits most people) so I use Framadate
@devnull @ajroach42 @omanreagan oh sweet never heard of this! Will have a look :)
Also, if you didn't already know about this, there's a huge collection of stuff here https://prism-break.org/
@mikedd Thanks for the link. But do you know who's behind this behind prism-break? Some data is out of date
The EFF is behind it, aren't they?
But it was launched around the time of the Prism disclosure. That was a long time ago.
@ajroach42 @devnull @omanreagan june 2014 afaik
