Hey Lemmy. I hate Facebook. But I miss Marketplace. So I built Garage as a means to reclaim Melb's 2nd hand marketplace from Meta (cause fuck Zuck). It's pretty new but check it out below (getgarage.com.au)

I built Garage as a side-project and have finally realised it into production. I'm just a dude working full-time, renting in Caulfield and out of pocket for it. But I'd rather pay to host Garage than have Zuck sell me. Your support means a lot!

Mods: I realise rule 5 says no ads. If this breaks it, I'll remove. I'm not really selling anything, just trying to give people a second option to Facebook.
