It seems odd that you’re here on a social media site then.

Check out YUNOhost. I had a Pixelfed server up and running in 20 mins.

You’re 100% right about that. I’ve never ran out of nice posts to look at on Pixelfed. I think the medium & format is a lot less addictive and a lot more relaxing/positive, which might help to explain it.

Pixelfed is definitely a good example of “its what you make it”.

Try searching for and following some hashtags that you’re interested in. I have an awesome home feed made up of art, design and photography hashtags and artists.

Good work!

Yeah good - everyone is really positive about it when I tell them.

I’m not sure how many of them end up using the fediverse based on our conversation but I think broader and more important cultural changes are built on slow but widespread indications of shifting values; I think conversations about what the fediverse stands for is actually more important than people using it.

I don’t use any closed source or centralised social media any more but I speak to people in real life about the Fediverse and share links to fediverse posts with my friends and family.

Yeah, I haven’t logged into my fb account for a couple of years but this might be a good reason to go in and leave something in my ‘bio’ or whatever monstrosity it is these days, I can’t even remember.

Man, Dansup is tearing it up like an absolute beast. Donate to his fund.

Just remember that the people getting mad at you are not deleting any of their posts.

It means we’re winning.
