@rvawonk 16 years of tweets (most of them likely of no consequence) was the only reason I was keeping my account going. All the more validation that we – and not some corporation somewhere – must own and control our own content.

Updated June 19th, 2023 Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos. But that doesn’t mean you can’t watch it! You can download Small Is Beautiful #23 directly, and watch it with your favourite video player. Small Is Beautiful (Oct, 2022): What is the Small Web and why do we need it? Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about:
I think until deploying single instance is as easy as installing app adoption will stay low.
Years ago I ran my own email server. Eventually it got to be a hassle so I stopped.
I kind of feel that way with Mastodon & Pixelfed, I *could* install and run single instances but do I want to deal with the hassle.
Small instances like the one I'm on feel like a happy medium. There is implicit trust b/c I know the admin. Portability makes it easy to leave.
