Thank you, Tobias. And thank you to the original anonymous person who created and maintained it until now.
The EFF prepared a list of "social media tips" here:
https://www.eff.org/electronic-frontier-alliance/social-media-tips
However, at the answer of "What Social Networks Should You Be On?" wouldn't you have appreciated to see some ethical and #decentralized alternatives too instead of ONLY Facebook/Twitter/Google/YouTube/Vimeo?
Carole Cadwalladr gave a viral talk entitled:
"Facebook's role in Brexit - and the threat to democracy"

Street battle: the activists fighting to save their neighbourhood from the tech giants
"Facebook, Google and Amazon have not just colonised the internet: their hubs, campuses and offices are taking over huge sections of cities around the world. But campaigners from New York to Toronto and Berlin are fighting back"
Solidarity from Berlin to SF to Toronto to Rennes to NYC! <3
After great fights against #Facebook, #Avaaz is now looking for a larger team to fight disinformation and political manipulation:

Digital Empowerment in Rural India - powered by FreedomBox.
Sudhamsh Kandukuri and I presented yesterday at XConf India 2018.
An inspiring story of a grassroots movement where people rejected Facebook's Free Basics and installed low-cost community Wi-Fi networks instead.
A FreedomBox on the network provides most of the essential digital services required, offline.
Slides:

Video recording: coming soon!
The #GiletsJaunes prepare to ask today more direct #democracy and demand to insert the “Referendum of Citizen Initiative” (#RIC) into the Constitution [1].
The Gilets Jaunes often did #DeleteWhatsApp and are organizing around #Telegram. That’s maybe why they are so successful.
But there is more out there to escape the Orwellian state:

I released a new version of my Firefox extension that will forcefully redirect you away from privacy erosive services to better alternatives. It started as a joke, but I end up actually using it.
When I want to look up a place, I instinctively and mechanically start typing "maps.googl...". This extension will instead take me to OpenStreetMaps. It will also functionally translate Google Search links to DuckDuckGo and Google Translate links to Deepl.

Google &co still watching!!
While #google canceled its "campus" in #Kreuzberg, they still occupy the building, while tech-startup bullshit still hits hard on the 'hood.
Join a festive occasion of meeting with neighbors, having fun and moving towards the next steps of action! <3

5 years ago: Digital Feudalism and How to Avoid It
I learned a lot in those five years and we’re still working for the same goals. Surveillance Capitalism is worse than it ever was but we also have new hopes: @Purism, Mastodon, @gnome, DAT, …
The one thing I’d change is to replace “open source” with “ethical technology” and “free (as in freedom)” in my words.

Antiterrorist Censorship: The EU Commission Wants to Kill the Decentralized Internet
Our reaction: https://www.laquadrature.net/en/new_terro_regulation
This proposal would impose new obligations to hosting service providers, including the removal in less than an hour of the reported content.
The Chaos Communication Congress (C3) is the perfect place to spread ideas about decentralized social media and ethical alternatives to the #GAFAM.
The 35th C3 will take place in Leipzig on December 27-30, and the call for talks is open until October 15:
