With Facebook changing its ToS once again, I think there is great momentum around the 1st of January to get people to check out Diaspora. We should use this opportunity and I suggest starting a thunderclap campaign that hits around New Year’s!
I am willing to set it up but would love your help with creating the draft
If we’re doing this, we need to go about it pretty fast, so we have some time to get the thing viral amoung all diasporians who still own Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr accounts.
So let’s do some brainstorming here!

just keep thinking of animated exploding snowdrops (for Yule) that contain dandelion seeds expanding across a webpage - like the old Microsoft easter eggs? … the dandelion seed is the visual ploy … certainly beats a blue F
@sumimasen i know how you feel … its trying to see the macrocosm to affect the microcosm … and the importance of confidence … but most just go for it - accepting falling 50 meters probably isnt a good idea … but most land like a cat … i just get frustrated at my lack of knowledge … this is also something i can do things about
… its okay … i was using ‘you’ in a subjective way (my subjectivity gets me into a lot of trouble ;p) … any ideas on the draft … or subconscious triggers … to me the facts and rational judgements are blatantly obvious - but its helping the blind thats the objective
i know … “come to Diaspora … at least ten of us will sleep with you” … nah … doesnt really fill the 140 characters requirement … i will get to work on a few things … if you need a bounce…illuminate the Loomio good luck/have fun
Facebook wants to own my privacy, my creations and my friends? No! 2015 I join DIASPORA, the social world where you are in control.
I like this Though we need hashtags. So maybe;

Deadline - I think jan 1st is too soon - unless we do this quick. Like tomorrow or something
Also we need the “longer text”, ie explaining why one should participate. And image would be nice too. And time for podmins to maybe spam their users if they want that
I agree we are short of time, but I still think we should do something for the 1st of January, at least a small thing… it could be posting a blog article with everything we discussed on the official pages (Facebook, Twitter).
Personally I don’t even have time to do the old stuff I’ve taken on so I’m going to have to just keep as a commenter role here. If @sumimasen you want to take lead and go ahead with this, please do
