Fediverse

Well heck, that looks like me. I was thinking about running back to Fidonet.

I think it’s only older people who remember what the internet was like before everything became corporate controlled or SEO optimized.

I would like to get more crafting content on here but tbh most of my friends from that stuff still use Facebook, never mind anything newer. They'll be ready for Fedi by about 2045 if we're lucky.

In the meantime getting to hang out with a load of likeminded nerds does in fact feel to me like a win.

I'm a bit under 24, have the limit of my tech skills being the ability to install and sometimes troubleshoot minecraft and Skyrim mods, and have never used Linux (I've thought about it admittedly, but ultimately didn't switch to it as it doesn't look to be compatible with my vr system.)

So there are some of us here that don't fit that demographic. From talking to some of my friends though, even the idea of having to pick an instance understanding federation/defederation has been hard to explain to some, doable but they generally prefer things that are self explanatory enough to not have to be talked through them. I've tried the whole email analogy but to be honest most of them don't use email that often anyway.

Did you just call me old? 🥺

Those are the primary people who are going to come to a platform like this. The average joe probably hasn't even noticed any major changes with reddit.
