In light of recent Twitter changes, going further, I'm going to focus on mediums that I 100% control.

Meaning my own Mastodon instance, self-hosted blog, and newsletter.

It sucks investing a decade into Twitter and having to pay so I can reach my friends.

I'm not willing to pay, not only because pay-to-win sucks, but because it opened my eyes to what social networks do - appropriating your content and connections without any guarantee for the future.

@koss Awesome, great decision. While I donʼt have the technical knowledge to have my own instance, I do what I can on my own spaces. I realized I was only making the milliardaires even richer by spending time on their platforms.

@jackyan that's a good point, no way I'm watching these (scammy nowadays btw) ads or paying for Blue.

@jackyan @koss consider a cooperatively owned instance?

@dckc @koss Thanks, Dan, Iʼll look into it. Would prefer our own but installation all looks command-line-driven and as a layman, Iʼm not confident. Would be much happier making a new database and uploading a bunch of files via FTP. 🙂
