Not everybody is a tanky here.

I joined waay before the reddit API change and .ml was like one of three available instances.

And there's often useful perspectives shared there, even if not necessarily agreeable.

Yeah same, we’re just early adopters.

I don’t think there even were other instances back then.

Same kinda but I don’t mind switching around so I never stayed on ML too long.

I enjoyed visiting your blog. Hopefully, your journey here will be positive, if not, the Block button will be your new friend. 🫶🏼

using something like Mastodon is no harder than signing up for X or Facebook. The difference is you won’t be treated like a product, you’ll be treated like a person.

I like this. I might reuse it.
