I'm not sure who is pushing #GlobalSwitchDay probably won't amount to anything, some of these platforms are certainly not ready a massive migration. The #RedditMigration was rough enough on Lemmy, it actually murdered #Kbin; #loops #PeerTube and #Friendica don't have nearly enough well-maintained instances to support any sort of massive migration. And Signal, well its better than WhatsApp, and its mostly Free Software, but it doesn't really align with all of the others that are, or at least intend to be in the case of Loops, federated services based on ActivityPub.

hey what about Reddit->Lemmy? lol

what's the source on this? They should probably do each one on a different day?

Maybe there should also be one for Bluesky->Mastodon lol

naw, Bluesky users have already turned down mastodon. Lets pick another one they haven't heard of yet Bluesky->Misskey

Or you could do all of the above ->Nostr

I like the idea of Nostr, but it’s filled with way too much cryptocurrency garbage.

yes. I really wish we could establish a relay that didn't allow bitcoinbois so folks could choose to only connect to that relay.

I and lots of other people are actually using both platforms. That’s why apps like Openvibe exist.

I really like the idea of openvibe, but every time I have tried to use it my whole phone crashes.

That stinks and it is an excellent idea. I’m really enjoying it.
