I wrote about my motivations and thoughts on switching away from centralized social media and to the Fediverse with some thoughts on self-hosting.

Not everybody is a tanky here.

I joined waay before the reddit API change and .ml was like one of three available instances.

And there's often useful perspectives shared there, even if not necessarily agreeable.

Yeah same, we’re just early adopters.

I don’t think there even were other instances back then.

Same kinda but I don’t mind switching around so I never stayed on ML too long.

I enjoyed visiting your blog. Hopefully, your journey here will be positive, if not, the Block button will be your new friend. 🫶🏼

Thanks so much for sharing!

using something like Mastodon is no harder than signing up for X or Facebook. The difference is you won’t be treated like a product, you’ll be treated like a person.

I like this. I might reuse it.

The link is giving me an HTTP 503 error.

I nuked the internal network by mistake. Working on fixing it right now

edit It's back up now if you'd like to try again :)
