A weekly thread where you can share and chat through your progress, challenges and anything in between!

This movement is not a sprint; it is a marathon. It isn't about one tool, it is about all services, products, and just supporting better businesses. Given the scale of this task, I thought a space like this might be helpful while I work on something bigger!

Few ideas of things you might want to share:

• Any successes this week? New tool switched or product discovered?
• Any challenges and failures you might have had? You aren't alone!
• Got any questions on how certain new tools work?
• Companies you want to shout-out for doing something good? Or the opposite!
• Movements you feel that more people should support?
• Guides or articles you found particularly useful or helpful?

These could also be their own posts, but sometimes it's easier to make a quick comment.

Reasons until now

Increasingly, every time a new guide is shared, people ask for a link or struggle with the image itself. I've avoided that because 1) I didn't know (and still don't) whether this would turn into anything substantial. 2) I felt Reddit, Lemmy and other communities were good enough as a platform.

Is now the right time (some stats)

It appears that there is a strong and continued interest in finding alternatives that might justify putting more time into it.

• Reddit shows 1M+ views across all posts over the last 1-2 months
  • Although this will be inflated, this doesn't include other platforms such as Lemmy (no stats here), BlueSky and LinkedIn (apparently was posted there a few times)
• There has been a lot of engagement with people asking questions - 10k+ comments
• The movement was growing at about 1k per week - not bad!
• It is becoming challenging to have all the different versions up-to-date and easily accessible

Benefits of a site
