| schestowitz | Many technical people have begun exploring/experimenting with this approach (RSS, blogs etc.) because of Twitter's demise. Many merely return to it due to fatigue in social control media. Two of them, one Debian dev (Gunnar) and Zonker (Joe), wrote blog posts about that only a few hours ago. Major Hayden explores self-hosting Mastodon, but social control media is generally misguided. But he previously said he'd take the challenge of 100 blog posts | Jan 03 08:19 |
| schestowitz | in 100 days. It's a trend! | Jan 03 08:19 |
| schestowitz | Those are just hours-old examples that I saw. Many more exist! It is very encouraging. | Jan 03 08:19 |

| schestowitz | > hopeless. Living with my partner who is a therapist dealing with | Jan 03 08:19 |

| schestowitz | I left my job a month ago after I had suffered enough. My wife did the same, an hour or so apart. If any of you wants to know the reason, it's an explanation in progress at http://techrights.org/wiki/Sirius_Open_Source | Jan 03 08:20 |

| schestowitz | It is hardly halfway there, I've so much more left to say and to show. | Jan 03 08:20 |
| schestowitz | I might never go back to "working" in the "tech" sector. Lots of toxic stuff in it, including but not limited to clown computing. It's a new form of proprietary software that is in many ways even worse, for a number of reasons. | Jan 03 08:20 |
| schestowitz | > This year I'd like to see a project of popular Digital Rights grow | Jan 03 08:20 |
| schestowitz | > beyond the notions of software freedom. | Jan 03 08:20 |

| schestowitz | > For example, I have messages in my inbox saying "I am tired, always | Jan 03 08:20 |
| schestowitz | > must compromise, my needs will always be infringed upon." and "I feel | Jan 03 08:20 |
| schestowitz | > constantly gaslighted by a mean pervasive dystopia", or "I feel alone | Jan 03 08:20 |
| schestowitz | > and can't talk to people in a technological prison". | Jan 03 08:20 |
| schestowitz | > | Jan 03 08:20 |
| schestowitz | > These cries for help and understanding grow more frequent. | Jan 03 08:20 |

| schestowitz | > find myself a new income and platform because teaching in a toxic | Jan 03 08:20 |
