I recently tried posting a link to an anti-annexation protest event I created, however EhNow (similar to twitter), the site I used to create the event, apparently won't let you view it without being a registered user, which I did not realize. Seems I inadvertently did the most offensive and suspicious thing anyone has ever done, ever, by posting such a link. I was wrong to assume people knew what EhNow is, so here's a video about it.

Thanks for the video. I was interested but yes the login page meant I couldn't see what it was, unfortunately.

I wasn't offended, but disappointed that I couldn't find out what it was.

I know that a de-centralized platform is better, that's why I'm here of course, but I do think that a Canadian hosted and controlled centralized Twitter replacement is something more palatable to many folks that "liked Twitter but hate X". If we can get the Canadian public and officials posting to there then gradually phase out Xitter engagement then we'll all be better for it.

Mastodon can be part of the solution too, but I refuse to hold out for "Masto or bust". I like Mastodon as it is right now, there's no need to force it to grow, it will on its own over time.
