What many people misunderstand about hosting your own content (like this social media instance) is thinking we somehow NEED a big audience or Big Tech involvement.

I'm perfectly fine if the world faded away and it was just the thousand of us here. It's like the early days of the web when we had small forums, nobody missed Reddit back then. Federation is a big plus, not a requirement.

It's the same with websites or IRC for me. I know people use Discord, but I still stick to IRC even if there are only about a hundred of us left. I know people use AI now and website visitors are dropping, but who cares? I still keep doing it for those who like to read.

I don't need the whole world involved for this to feel worthwhile. It's mine, I own it, and I host it for as long as I breathe. After that, it won't matter to me anymore, but I hope other admins keep things running the way I did.

If you ever want to find out how much software is just crap, try having a hyphenated last name.

Biking in traffic, speaker on, song trying very hard to convince you to make bad decisions. That song is:

	Ministry, Just One Fix
	Republica, Ready To Go
	Iggy Pop, Lust For Life
	I have a better answer.

rk: it’s hyphen-minus actually Mar 18

Buddy of mine is in pretty dire straits. He’s got decades in #infosec but he went through a nasty divorce and then got laid off twice in 18 months and the psychological and financial toll has been immense. He’s been looking for work for well over a year now and has gotten no bites.

If anyone is looking for a CISO/infosec manager/security team architect let me know. He’s served in those kind of roles for huge orgs, small orgs, and everything in between.
