It’s 2023 and there are more open source, decentralized social media options than ever before like Lemmy, Mastodon, and more. However, I still find myself using some big tech platforms like Twitter and Google News fairly often. While federated social networks are compelling, the content curation and discovery on platforms like Twitter seems better for my interests. The echo chambers of Twitter feel preferable to the noise of something like Mastodon. What about you all? Have you moved completely to open source social platforms, or do you still rely on some big tech ones too? I’m curious to hear your perspectives!
I remember my parents telling me id get something like a free drivers license if i didnt smoke before 18.
My son is getting a ‘homebrew’ 3Ds & Switch, later Steam Deck II etc if he stays away from tiktok, roblox, youtube and the likes :)
If he wants to watch something id rather build a server and curate it.
