A little over a year ago, I closed my social media accounts. Here's what happened. #SocialMedia

Generally I post about managed hosting as this is the easiest way to create your own online services.

However, there are many projects out there trying to make non-managed hosting easier too:

https://yunohost.org is a version of Linux that makes it as easy as possible to install your own services. Once @yunohost is installed on a server, it lets you add lots of online services (https://yunohost.org/apps) very easily through a graphical interface.

Fediverse shows that humanity lost their attention and some people live inside their screens. No doubt if you own many computers (or screens as I simple call it), you become an addict.

I become an addict in the 90s, and only the recent 5-6 years I realized my mistake.

After about 14 years of hard work bringing open source into cellular communications in #osmocom, at seemingly impossibly small budgets, it pains me a lot that @sysmocom@twitter.com we now have to turn down customers / funding for more open source due to lack of developer capacity :(

My take in thread: 🧶

🎉 Fediverse.Party and its Wiki finally finished migration to a new home!

Our code repository can be found at Codeberg:

Honoured to be part of @codeberg community.

What device do you generally use (most often) to access Fedi?

Proof is in the pudding.

Not to worry though, GitHub's days as a forge are almost over. Soon it will be relegated to little more than a directory (search engine) for projects, once #Gitea completes their ForgeFed / ForgeFlux #ActivityPub #Federation integration (Now in limited release) which will obsolete the #monolithic_silo, leaving GitHub little more than a place-holder with README.mg files to locate FOSS repos elsewhere on Federated forge servers that are horizontally scaled in the #Fediverse.

You want people to run their own servers? Design and build servers for individuals, not communities and let communities arise from the interconnections between those servers.

Why?

Because that’s the only way we can compete on ease of use with centralised systems. Not by mimicking their complexity but by side-stepping it. There is orders of magnitude difference in complexity between a system designed to serve just one and one designed to serve one, two, or a hundred thousand.
