@mayne yeah, it is hard, indeed.

I'm still consuming Twitter via Nitter (an alternative Twitter frontend). It provides a RSS feed for each Twitter user, so I can read tweets from FreshRSS.

If you want to try, I'm hosting both platforms at

https://nitter.uncloud.do
https://freshrss.uncloud.do

I've been a bit out of the fediverse, but hey, my Twitter deactivation process just hit 30 days and I'm officially out of the bird platform!

No more Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter.

Free yourself!

I'd rather pay for fucking tweets.

Just because something is the way it is, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight to change it.

@jgoerzen I don't think people would be keen to setup their own boxes, people like my mom.

BUT, we need to create a world where more and more people can run services and offer to their local communities. We need services to be small, local and to grow naturally.

@jgoerzen yeah! I see self hosting like gardening. It needs attention, care, learning. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but it requires time and energy. That’s why I think most people won’t do it, like most people don’t do gardening, unfortunately :(

I got the idea from @humanetech and transformed into a list.

Here is the Delightful Libre Hosters, a list of people and organizations who deploy, maintain and offer open source services to the public.
