“Sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a “hero,” because what’s a hero? But sometimes there’s a man who… well, he’s the man for his time and place!” – Sam Elliot (the Stranger) from the glorious The Big Lebowski
You know that classic quote about standing on the shoulders of giants (and pioneers)? Honestly, in so many ways, that’s how I truly feel about the good ol’ Fediverse.
So, to sum up-- who are YOUR heroes here, and what does keep you hanging on here, baby…?
What’s wrong with the Fediverse exactly?
Yeah. I don’t feel like I’m suffering for being on here rather than somewhere else
I’m on a Windows PC browsing with Firefox. How long you got to talk technical issues? This place is a Bulgarian clusterfuck. If this was a serious social media platform looking at an IPO, it would be in alpha.
Anyway, more right here than wrong for me. Been in tech for 30-years, handled Win 3.1, BASIC in the 80s, I can live with it. But it’s a technical mess.
No government or corporation gives a shit about us, no bots!
