My experience of the #fediverse :

Year 1 (2023):
It feels a little lonely as 99% of my friends stayed on Big Tech platforms.

Year 2 (2024):
I start a blog - #TheFutureIsFederated - to explain the fediverse to "normies"... and I make a lot of new (techie) friends.

Year 3 (2025):
My techie friends encourage me to start self-hosting with #YunoHost... and I do! (GoToSocial, PeerTube, NextCloud...) I LOVE it.

Year 4 (2026):
I plan to buy a Heltec to try out off-grid mesh radio communication 💁‍♀️

People who use X are increasingly radicalised until they end up as Nazis.

People who use Mastodon are increasingly radicalised until they end up as C programmers.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

@rlonstein @david_chisnall @_elena As a person with a moderate commmand of C and a great love for it, it's a thing of beauty. Just like when you are carving your own spoons, you may draw blood, and as a professsional dev environment it gets reduced to smaller and smaller niches, which makes sense for security. But it's a gem, still.
