After many years, I've just deleted the Instagram app.
I feel free.

Every morning, an instance administrator wakes up knowing they need to keep the infrastructure running smoothly for their users, ensuring a good and free social experience.
Every morning, a Fediverse user wakes up knowing they will find many people eager to socialize and interact, who strive to keep the Internet a place for the free exchange of ideas and opinions, away from the dynamics of closed protocols and Big Tech monetization.
It doesn't matter if you are a server administrator or a Fediverse user, thank you for being here and for contributing every day with your efforts to keep the Internet a free place.

I'm trying to convince the last friends I have left on Facebook, X, Threads, or BlueSky to join the Fediverse. Some have tried but felt a sense of loneliness. Nowadays, many people are so used to doing what algorithms suggest that they can no longer make independent choices.
My timeline here, on the other hand, is beautiful.
I see what I want, I follow people who post what I like, and no one tells me what I should do. Freedom may come with a "cost," but whatever it is, it's worth the effort. Always.

The fediverse has no central authority — which brings both challenges and opportunities for how it's governed. For Dot Social, @mike spoke with @kissane and @darius, two of the smartest people working on this, about the impact of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election on fediverse work, the "Xodus," what needs to be done next, and how to fund and sustain better networks for humans.

Exactly one year ago, I launched the snac instance of BSD Cafe: https://snac.bsd.cafe
Some users gave it a try and decided to self-host. Others have kept it as a secondary account, while some use it regularly.
Happy anniversary, snac.bsd.cafe - and thanks to @grunfink for the ongoing development and improvement, always staying true to the principles of simplicity and integrity.

I'm reading that Meta's social networks are experiencing accessibility issues across Europe.
The Fediverse is open for (not) business, as usual.
Long live decentralization!
