I’m a little of both, I joined for escaping the reddit blackout shutdown, but I stayed for the advantages of the fediverse. I grew up working with a lot of proprietary software, and I’ve had growing pains as I’ve grown bitter about proprietary software over time. I’ve been self hosting, working on migrating my machines to Linux, and trying to find workable alternatives to everything.

Edit: yes I’m quite techy, a DevSecOps/software engineer. I worked with Linux a long time through VMs and containers, but gaming and Adobe kept me from having a daily driver machine for more than a little while. I don’t think I’ll ever fully escape Windows because I’m a big .NET developer and work with a lot of legacy code, but I’m more than happy to leave that to a QEMU VM.

I pay for a Google workspace account, but I’ve been thinking about self hosting. I’ve had my eye on mailcow for a bit, does anyone recommend?

I’m with you, it’s kind of annoying to see just how much people seethe over a platform. It looks exactly like what redditors did with IG, or TT, or emojis. I understand people’s frustrations with TT, but as someone who’s made content for both TT and YT shorts, engagement for small guys absolutely sucks on shorts and when TT is banned, there’s basically no real alternative. Not only that, but I’m also very concerned about the precedent that’s set by effectively censoring parts of the internet for Americans.

That being said I am also super pumped for Loops, I hope there’s more updates soon because I’ve been keeping an eye on that for a while!

I kind of feel you, I left shortly after the blackout and it’s taken some time to adjust to things. But I’ve seen a lot of good subs stood up since then, and a handful of them were direct equivalents to popular Reddit ones. Good luck!

Oh no, I didn’t even know those existed

Oh they’re terrible

Thanks I hate it
