The enshitified platform exodus continues! I just set up a NextCloud server on EasyDNS. I had to clear out one of my lesser used WordPress sites to make room for the NextCloud database. Short of self-hosting on my NAS, this is as close to controlling my data infrastructure as I am likely to achieve.

I moved all my email accounts from Microsoft to #EasyDNS last year. The data storage is the last thing that remained to move.

#LeavingTheBar

Facebook's 30 day account deletion timer has started. They make it as confusing and difficult as possible.

I left Twitter when the Saudis and Russians bought it through a South African/American front.

I left LinkedIn when I got fed up with its ehshitification.

I lurk on BlueSky and will leave it when the funding Crypto Bros start leaning on the current excellent management. And they will.

I haven't been posting much on this account. Perhaps I will.

#LeavingTheBar

This morning I did my last post on Facebook. I announced that I will delete that account over the weekend. I'm leaving the bar. I invited people to find me here. I got an almost immediate response from an old friend who had never heard of Mastodon. Small steps. #LeavingTheBar
