To fellow Hiveans, better options of social media are quite obvious, but as a friendly reminder, there are also better options for so many other digital things. Options for Google products, mega-monster social media corporations, and USA-made things. That is, if you for some reason would want to boycott them.

Support and use:
decentralized, open-source, smaller, and/or local businesses.

Say no to:
lies, hate, bullies, racism, fascism, dictators, occupation, annexation, genocide. Taking away from the poor and giving it to the rich.

It's not much what I or you can do. A tiny drop in the vast ocean. But I hope there are thousands, tens of thousands, and perhaps millions of others doing tiny and not-so-tiny things. Saying out loud facts about what is happening out there in the world. And taking a stance. Saying that it's not okay. Protest. Take your money elsewhere.

For us Hiveans, we already know a bunch of cool [dapps](https://hive.io/eco).
So there's the decentralized part.

Here's a cool website that lists a big bunch of [European alternatives](https://european-alternatives.eu) if you find that you've mostly used U.S.-made and want that to change.

So come and say hi if you're in [Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/788728208846746729) or [Mastodon](https://mastodon.world/@Insaneworks). (Or here. You can say hi here also.)

Or if you'd like to share any digital products that you use that are not U.S.-made or respect privacy or are decentralized or are made by smaller businesses or are just something you think I, as a Finn, do not know of.

Yes, there are lots that I don't know of, not because I'm a Finn but because of personal interests and laziness, so I order you to tell me what I might not know of because you don't know what I know before you ask me if I know about it.

Oh, but wait a minute. If you tell me something I don't know, then it's no longer something I don't know because you've told me about it, so... this is a Schrödinger's insanebrainwave that we have here.

Uh.

Finally, I'd like to finish this with words of great social and political import.

#GulfofMexico, #GolfodeMexico, #Meksikonlahti, #Mexikanskagolfen, #GolfvonMexiko, #GolfeduMexique, Gulf of Mexico, Golfo de México, Meksikonlahti, Mexikanska golfen, Golf von Mexiko, Golfe du Mexique, Gulf of Mexico.

Canadians are awesome!

Free palestine!

Slava Ukraini!
