#WhatsApp is currently down. This is your regular reminder that centralized platforms are centralized: a single point of failure and control.

Help spread the word about open decentralized networks.

If you want to migrate your family or other social group away from proprietary apps but don't know how, that's what we're here for. You can self-host Snikket or sign up for our hosted platform. After setup, invite your contacts with a simple link and you're done.

Good luck!

We love to celebrate better up time than the centralized platforms here on the #fediverse. If your instance is up right now while #Twitter is down pat yourself on the back!

Are you listening yet?
