Is there a free/open source social media platform? Preferably de-centralized? I remember the names Diaspora and ello, but that's all I remember about them.
@chickenf1sh Agreed. I still miss popping in to FB or IG to see how folks are doing--at least the parts they choose to share. But I don't miss the rabbit hole(s), and know myself well enough to not log in.
Just occurred to me--anything the Tor browser could access? That might be neat/useful. Otherwise I'd like to request a return to Web 1.0 graphics and layouts that favor accessibility over "convenience", and the removal of big data culling apparatuses. (Apparati?)

Friendly reminder that Elon Musk told the UN that if they gave him a budgeted breakdown of how $6Bil could end world hunger, he would do it. They gave him the budget and then he decided not to do it, and instead decided he would buy Twitter for $45Bil.
