What is Dirt Social?
What's more relaxing than gathering around a camp fire with your buddies after a day of wheeling? No pretenses, nothing to get in your way, just you and your friends talking about the hobby you love.
Now, imagine you're sitting around that camp fire, and every few minutes a man in a suit walks up, and tried to convince you to buy a taco. You like tacos, so maybe you're ok with that, but you just had a steak from the fire, and really you're just not hungry for one. So the man comes back next time with an offer on beer. Beer sounds nice, So you consider a beer. But while you're thinking about tacos, and beer, you're losing something else. What were you doing before the taco guy?
This is a lot like social media today. Sure, the algorithm helps you promote your brand, it helps you make money even. You love the algorithm if you know how to leverage it. But wouldn't it be nice to just sit and chat with your friends without worrying about your social brand? And let's not even get started on your loss or privacy.
Get back to the camp fire!
Dirt Social is here to help. We're based on a platform that favors freedom, communication, and relationships over viral posts, and ad revenue. So pull up a camp chair, and settle in. You might not be the next social influencer here, but you can be sure you'll find folks, like you, that enjoy the sport. Come on back to a simpler time of community and connection.
Other Useful Information
Dirt Social is built on Mastodon. If you are looking for a mobile app, you'll want to search for Mastodon, not Dirt Social. If you need help finding an app, or if you need help setting it up, please let @nate@dirt.social know!
Federation, and Moderation
Mastodon is a different sort of platform, where different groups or servers can talk to each-other. The Mastodon network is vast, and has a lot of instances from all different walks of life. You will very likely come across folks who live lifestyles that you do not agree with. But please remember that disagreeing with someone is not grounds for banning or blocking them. PLEASE report abuse and illegal activity, but do not report every person who simply disagrees with you. The Dirt Social staff takes illegal activity very seriously, if you find an instance that seems to primarily promote something that feels illegal, please let us know. For example, many instances are already blocked for things like, sex trafficking, hate speech, and other questionable activities.
