I am kind of heartened when the mainstream people I know start complaining about how shitty their social medias have become. Now they just need to realise not only that they can leave, but they ought to leave.
Like it's pretty easy to make an ethical argument against contributing to mainstream corporate social media.
Yeah this is where I’m at. I’m educating myself and working on my self hosted offerings so once all the people around me start caring I’m here with all the knowledge and tech to make the switch really easy.
That's a great idea. I've experimented with a tiny lemmy instance, more for practice, just so if the demand suddenly arises, I could host an instance (ideally from a homelab).

Just gotta make some rogue AIs for that....
