Once upon a time, I was very active on MySpace and then Facebook. Then things got really shitty, so I quit and joined BlueSky.
I felt horrible, like the smallest bit of the code, unrecognized, shouting into the void for robots and scammers. But it a good place, right? And then they banned trans people while bringing in the authoritarians.
So, I thought all social media is bad, and I should try and get a website going where I could shout at the void on my own space.
I came across @_elena@mastodon.social and started playing around with PeerTube. I saw @firesidefedi@btfree.social talking about exciting things, connecting with real people, and rebuilding that good time I used to have being online.
It was exciting, but I wasn't sure. And then @TIBtv@tv.theindiebeat.fm came on, and I was blown away. My people! There they are!
I hope other people like me quit lurking quietly and join in. It's fantastic here on the #fediverse
