Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.

'LinkedIn'

LinkedIn is as much Social Media as talking with your manager is Socializing.

It's really plastic and fake feeling there, more so than anywhere else.

Since when does "plastic and fake" means it's not social media?

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 2 points 11 months ago

yes but it doesn't always feel like it.

LinkedIn feels like Uncanny Valley social media.

Like there are Alternates there trying to imitate human interactions.

Life is plastic, it's fantastic.

All Social Media = Plastic and Fake.

Flood it with memes

Let's not pretend that the degenerate comment section in YouTube is peak high society though.

Or really any place where strangers mostly zing each other. It's just like the opposite extreme of linked in

I mean it's a far better place to network and interact with professional statuses and companies than other social networks. I like the Fediverse but I also have a work related presence on LinkedIn.
