"I never expected to find my news from strangers on a federated social network that half the internet has never heard of. I never expected a lot of things. But there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just... share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage. [...] It's the internet I was promised in 1996. It only took thirty years and the complete collapse of American journalism to get here."

G'day,
I'm Kev. I'm over 60, retired ex military and I take photos. I'm a long time Linux user.
I got kicked off of Meta products because I refuse to upload a video selfie to prove I'm over 16 years old. 🤔
Tried Bluesky, but's it full of people trying to build their follower count. I prefer the Fediverse.
I swear occasionally, post Australian landscape photos and probably some garbage. (You have been warned)
It's nice to be here.
