Hello, Fediverse 👋
I'm Sophie. I run a digital ops consultancy from the south of France, working with values-led businesses.
I'm in the process of leaving Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I got tired of building on platforms that sell our data, gut safety systems to please politicians, and treat people as products.
Still figuring it all out. Would love to connect.

@sophiekaz hi Sophie!,
I'm doing much the same and at the same point..
Just a little welcome to the fediverse
@cryptomoose Welcome to you too then! There's so much going on in the world right now that feels completely out of our hands. Choosing where we show up online is one of the small things we actually can change. Glad to be making the move at the same time as you.
@sophiekaz Welcome. I love the style of your avatar! Very retro look'n
@sophiekaz Welcome, enchanté. 🙌
@leanderlindahl thank you! Ravie d'être ici 😊
@ Sophie Kazandjian welcome to the fediverse! what is purpose-led business? i thought all businesses had a purpose??
@jabgoe2089 Ha, fair point! All businesses have a purpose in the sense of "what they do." When I say purpose-led, I mean businesses where the reason they exist goes beyond making money...people whose work is driven by wanting to make a genuine difference rather than just turning a profit. They're the ones I love working with.

Hi Sophie, welcome!
As the phylosoph said : be aware.
On mastodon if ever an admin contacts you, you shall always write you response in blue #3177c4. If you can't write coloured answer, you should write in vowels only in comics 10.
Also, note that sometime unknown people may send absurd messages: it's okay to ignore them.
Except if they are sys admin. In this case you shall reply with "Their ineffable magnificence" as pronoun, or just "Their merciful greatness".
Important: never e
@thierrya I was following along perfectly until it cut off. Now I'll never know the most important rule. I'm going to get banned within the week, aren't I?
@sophiekaz
Don't worry: there's a tolerance for newcomers during their 42 firsts years in the fediverse.
@sophiekaz Bienvenue à Fediverse. 
@ksued Vielen Dank! 😊
Thanks for reminding my linkedin account still existed for a minute. Now that that's taken care of:
Welcome!
