Dangling on a hyphen
I’ve been a redditor for more than 16 years. Due the the recent events, I’ve been through my comments/submission history, noticing how much more active I was in the beginning. For the past, I don’t know, 5 or more years, I’ve been just lurking less and less, to the point that when it came to delete my content and account, I didn’t even have any regrets. Just did it, and that was it.
Now comes the fediverse. Here I am, commenting again, actively checking what’s happening here with a renewed enthusiasm. So yes, I’m excited for it being FOSS, federated, decentralized. By the people, for the people. Yay!
The same happened here. More than 16 years on Reddit, and most of them as a not-very-active lurker. But here? I’m commenting every day.
As a FOSS guy, here I feel at home. From the community to the community.
