That for me, receiving a crying emoji on a post doesn’t make me feel more connected to people.

I said that if that works for you and makes you feel connected, then Facebook would indeed offer connection for you. It doesn’t for me.

I am not sure why you seemingly got mad about it.

If zero effort bits posted to your page make you feel that connected, then Facebook might be for you.

Leave Facebook for a month. Tell people how to reach you on there before you go. You’ll forget why you ever went to that site.

so uh … I’ve been sorta contemplating preinastalled hardware. Think a mini pc you plug into your router. Or even a minipc that replaces your router and has a clean UI for picking a handful of curated self-hosted stuff you want.

You could buy the hardware as a simple jumping off point to learn more or (and here is where I am not sure if there’s a market) you could pay me (or other sysadmins like me) to support it.

What if self-hosted stuff worked a bit like your HVAC,. electrical or plumbing?
