It's time to move (back) to self-hosted solutions. There is nothing worse than corporate platforms that can "moderate" users for one reason or another. Not so long ago, if you had to share something with the world, you hosted your own webpage.
Another unfortunate trend is that laypeople using real names on "social media." It's fine if you are a politician or artist using this as an "official" comms account, but for ordinary people it's just asking for trouble.
- piva00 10mo agoThis will only happen when people get extremely tired of these platforms, and some revolution in discoverability happens so people can found the content they are attracted to with as little friction as these platforms provide. There's no going back to what it was in the late 90s/early 2000s, the audience is different, the way the content is consumed is different, the content itself is very different. Blog networks where you follow through links are not going to be the future. > Not so long ago, if you had to share something with the world, you hosted your own webpage. This is long ago in Internet terms, it's been 15+ years it's not the case, it's unfortunately long in the past.
