Even so, do consider supporting your Fediverse instance.
It's the best way to keep our platforms and spaces safe, independent, healthy, genuine.
See you on the other side!

Given the earlier, I could stay on mastodon.social, but, for one, I'm afraid that the funding tiers for mastodon.social are slightly out of what I would prefer, and secondly, eu.mastodon.green and Albin Social servers run on renewable energy.

One of the reasons for this move starts with my strong belief that if Fediverse is to succeed where the traditional centralized social media networks have failed, it should be, for the most part, supported (and also financially) by it's users. You're paying for a service. Either that you host, or that someone hosts it for you.
Otherwise, sooner or later, you (and your media and data) end up being the product. There are no free lunches.

It also solves the two biggest issues with #LLMs today: It's just 25 watts so can run without killing the planet. It's also entirely local so all of the data remains on your machine so privacy is preserved.
The remaining issue, ethical training, is being addressed by man of the open source models. I'm hopeful that will also be addressed.
Ahoy Fediverse, I will be moving my account soon to eu.mastodon.green, managed by @JohanEmpa
The follows should move as well, so I don't think any action is needed if you follow me, but, let's see.

@coimbrapedal Por curiosidade, está previsto alguma Kidical Mass para 2025?
Holy shit.
The Russian gov send in an abuse request for the @Bellingcat to be removed from mstdn.social 
I am not gonna comply, and have replied to Hetzner
No way I'm gonna let the evils of the gremlin dictate stuff on anything I host
UPDATE: Hetzner ignores their requests and we're in the clear: https://mstdn.social/@stux/113662573364116275
Attached: 1 image Nice!♥️ Got a reply and Hetzner just ignores the bullshit from the Kremlin Wish it where that easy with the war in Ukraine..
So feel free to drop a reply or suggest a fediverse/federated platform that could be interesting for a smaller personal social media network, to connect privately with family, friends, and close contacts, that's still fun to use.
I'll be exploring Diaspora, Hubzilla and Friendica meanwhile.

Lots of close contacts don't share the interest in Mastodon. But these are also contacts that aren't/weren't Twitter or microblogging users, but relatively frequent social media network users. Microblogging isn't an activity they cater to. And that's okay.
