@privacytools, #ff and #followFridays are two good tags to use to help spread these suggestions.
Thanks for the shout-out!
For anyone who is new to #FreedomBox, here are the basics:
WHAT IS A #FREEDOMBOX?
A home server system that empowers people to host their own apps and data on a server they own. It's designed to be easy.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The software is free forever, and the hardware is under $100.
WHEN CAN I BUY IT?
Now: https://freedombox.org/buy/

@privacytools Hey there, as a new user ourselves we're still trying to find our feet. We're big fans of privacytools.io and the privacy-by-design alternatives they recommend, so if searching online via an independent and privacy focused search engine would be of interest to anyone we'd love for you to check us out! Looking forward to getting more involved on Mastodon! 😀
@Mojeek fantastic, and welcome to Mastodon! We’ll definitely take a look at what you’re doing 😄
@jonah Thanks for the support Jonah, feel free to get in touch whenever if you want to know more.
@Mojeek @privacytools Your free to open up an issue tracker on our github page to see if we can include you, having you there as part of the conversation about whether mojeek should be added often helps speed up things a lot.
@blacklight447 @privacytools Excellent, thanks for the help. We'll look into doing so!
@blacklight447 @privacytools Just submitted now. Looking forward to see how the discussion goes. 😀
@Mojeek @privacytools I just noticed it, will look forward to the discussion.

They're a privacy abuser & the devs on that project are incompetent.

And you might want to include the guardian project in the list- @guardianproject
@privacytools
Should we use instead of #followfriday that is mainly used on the blue bird site something like ... #tuesdayfollow or maybe #followpeople 🤔creepy maybe and could suggest stalking 😅
