This is an incredible article! I very much relate to the disillusionment of doing something for the sake of sales, and also find myself on a winding journey to do something that has meaning without really knowing what that is or should be. Best of luck to him!

For Wumbo?

Most of my friends jumped off Reddit and onto Kbin/Lemmy for the week of the blackout. I think most of them are using some hybrid of Lemmy/Reddit now. I’m the only person I know that moved exclusively to Kbin, but that’s okay. It fills the same hole that reddit did, I don’t much care if other people I know do or do not join tbh

It doesn’t work for everything though. Having a self hosted account that wasn’t tied to any specific platform or instance would ideally allow you to have access to PeerTube and BookWyrm as well as Mastodon and Kbin, without having to worry about your instance shuttering and all of your posts and comments disappearing. I’ve also been really stewing on this idea, I think it’s a probable future state of the Fediverse

If a screen name is an identifier doesn’t that make literally every social website or forum a potential breach? That seems a bit harsh

Wow this is a great read! I definitely see promise for the described system in the direction we are heading
