Aotearoa / New Zealand

Despite the lack of an inbuilt spell-check to cover up my sausage fingers, this seems like a cool space to be in. Open source social media, wow. I came here from r/nz, and I gotta say, I've become pretty apathetic towards the corporate greed and data harvesting that has become the staple of most sites. It wasn't until I saw a bunch of buzz about this place on reddit that I even knew about it.

I guess I'd always assumed that the future of social media, and the internet in general, would be something closely resembling Orwell or P.K Dick's dystopias. Maybe this open source thing is a nice branch of the path, and even if it isn't, its nice to be here at, what seems to me, to be a pivotal point in history. Kia kaha everyone, hope you're all doing well.
