@neatnik@social.lol I think you’ve described everything in this post in sufficient detail (link below). I’ve read it several times. I really like social.lol and I appreciate what you’re doing and the community and tools you’ve created. It would be hard for me to leave, but I don’t want to spend an endless amount of money on digital services either. That’s why – thanks to all of you – I’ve come up with a way to sort this out and remain part of the world you’ve created.
A huge thank you for what you do. I think it’s brilliant that you’re considering swapping your day job to focus solely on developing omg.lol. If the opportunity arises, you should definitely take it. Do what you love, and I’ll do my best to support your work, because you’re doing amazing things. :)

@neatnik@social.lol @cassem@social.lol @lylo@mas.to @fischr@mastodon.social @alexandra@social.lol Thank you for your suggestions, your willingness to help, your ideas for solutions, your support, and for a thought-provoking conversation.
Here is my response and the solution I have decided on.

I was saddened to hear that the price for what omg.lol offers will soon more than double. Of course, I understand Adam’s arguments and fully support them. It offers many interesting and unique features for the community, and when you consider what you get, it’s a small fee. But as I only use the Mastodon instance (social.lol), the upcoming fee seems high. I’m wondering what to do next. Should I switch instances? Or perhaps stay here for now, renew my subscription for another year at the current price, and then think it all over again?
To provide some context – as people from various countries read my posts – I should add that I have to multiply the dollar amounts by 4 to work out the price I’ll pay in my home currency.

@alexandra@social.lol I used to run a WordPress blog. I spent more time managing the CMS than actually writing. I don't have fond memories of that time. Looking back after all these years, I think I was more of an admin than a blogger.

@lylo@mas.to Even more space to write! Brilliant! 😅
I tentatively thought about this feature a few days ago, while I was making quite a few changes to the CSS and checking various elements. I thought to myself that it would be cool to have a second blog just for tests like that. And here we go! What an announcement!

@ben@werd.social I’m really happy that the Pope wrote about #AI. That’s important voice and new perspective from Church.

@sixcolors@zeppelin.flights I love reading by #RSS reader. This is the best way for me to be up-tu-date. And also I’m using for over 20 years. And also with break during this period. Now I’m using Reeder. For me is the best. With functionality which allows me to save article from the Internet as something like read-it-later-app. Everything in one app.

@ben@werd.social I’m amazed there’s no ‘AI thinking’. Mind you, I’m not really. Supposedly the fat cats in Silicon Valley keep their own children away from gadgets in their early years. They only foist their products on the rest of us from the moment we're in the cradle.

I haven't written anything on my blog for a month. It's not because nothing interesting has been happening. It's because a lot has been going on, but the kind of things I didn't want to write about publicly. I think it's time to consider a paper journal for these sorts of occasions.

@sherold@mastodon.online Great to read it. It’s interesting that there are more of us with similar problem. I think streamlining an RSS reader is a never-ending story.

“What we have to block is not smartphones, nor even social media, but the harmful algorithms often used by social media — the psychological equivalent to giving kids access to a slot machine.” How I agree with You, sir Berners-Lee.
