Yes, I am significantly more active here than I was on Reddit (at least recently, my decline on posting/commenting on Reddit started a few years ago).

Yeah, I realized as I was typing it that it was probably going to be pretty random

Right, is that starting at like 12 EST or PST?

Ah, that’s based off the AMA he “did”. So nothing newer than that?

The CEO just tripled down and said they are not changing their intended API pricing regardless of how many subs and users go dark.

Link? That’s not good news :/

Did he get caught editing comments again? And the shadowbanning?

I don’t think I’ll go back except for niche content/communities I don’t expect to see here for a while.

To be fair, it does seem like there’s at least 326 others, maybe more, so that doesn’t seem unlikely

Oh, for sure! I’m fine now but it was a thing like years ago. Didn’t mean to concern anyone, sorry

Thank you 😊

I’ve been work from home since March ‘20 (with about a month in office near the start of ‘23), and I absolutely love it.

At the start I was doing a lot of end-user tech support and kitted out my workstation with a nice desk and chair, and I’ve never been more comfortable working at a desk. I think ergonomics are one of the biggest perks of work-from-home, plus the whole saving on commute thing.

My name is just my name… idk what that means 😥

Ah, right. I’d set up some relays already, but I didn’t realize that it also shared your public posts with other instances subscribed to the relay.

Ah, so similar to the issues with finding content on a single user Mastodon instance :(

I think the biggest leap forward for the Fediverse would be making content more discoverable. Just not sure how that would be done.

The other problem for a single user instance would be that anything you post is basically shouting into the void unless people follow you. At least with Lemmy you can post to other instances/communities.

Does it make sense to host your own Pixelfed instance (like I’m doing with Mastodon and Lemmy currently)? I occasionally do some photography and having a place to post my images to replace my current site would be nice.
