I hate that the mass media adopted yet another corporation instead of relying on FOSS and Mastodon. What can we do to steer them right?

I've been doing some kind of guerrila marketing and while I'm seeing Mastodon's numbers go slightly up, overall is 10% of what BS got.

It's not the first time this happened, people keep missing the point once and again... when Vine died, people went to tic toc instead of the proper app. Now tic toc almost died and the mass media got barraged with an even worse app.

Obviously there's an agenda behind all of this, either massive corporations or governments are leading exoduses to where they want. The reality cannot be that people LOVE corporations, LOVE closed ecosystems and LOVE advertising, monetization and algorhitms. Obviously there's something going on behind the scenes.

But this time we got a fighting chance, and we HAVE to fight back.

I think guerrilla marketing is one way to help, what's another? We also need reputable news sources highlighting the pros of Mastodon instead of BS, but that doesn't happen because all they do is spin positives about BS...
