I now have daily anxiety thinking about the future of the fediverse.
So how do I channel this fear and turn it into something constructive? I'm going back to writing
#selfhosting guides for newbies.
It's a great distraction, which gives me a bit of hope. Especially the next guide, which will cover my favorite fediverse software -
#GoToSocial (which is powering this instance) - and how to install and configure it. Your own little home on the fediverse! Lightweight and features-packed.
Surely something like this would fall outside the scope of regulation. Right? Right?
