Surely we would be better off posting content to the fediverse though.
It adds more legitimacy to those networks and hopefully encourages
people to switch to networks. All it really takes is for us to
co-ordinate efforts in that if we follow each other and one of us posts
something the other person shares it and hopefully everyone else does
the same.
Mediagoblin allows posting of video / pictures
peertube videos
General content / discussions can be posted to say friendica. mastodon
or diaspora.
https://fediverse.party/ is a good portal to this.
In some ways people stay on proprietary networks due to content, if we
can create content on the free decentralised networks people may
switch, and even more likely if we can engage there too.
However all of this takes time.
