Twitter/X

This is fairly self explanatory. The rebranding of Twitter to X and Musk’s new ownership of the platform shifted the direction of the platform to be ever more political. X Premium boosting visibility is also something I wasn’t a particular fan of. You can’t view anything without signing in either, so goodbye viewing stuff anonymously. There’s just a lot of “features” here I’m not a fan of. Needless to say, there’s a lot of reasons to not post stuff there.

Fediverse

I initally moved to the Fediverse (on Misskey/Sharkey). Interoperability between different platforms is very cool, and the wide variety of platforms to choose from means that picking any platform never made me feel like “missing out” elsewhere.

I initially moved to the Fediverse (on Misskey/Sharkey). Interoperability between different platforms is very cool, and the wide variety of platforms to choose from means that picking any platform never made me feel like “missing out” elsewhere.

However, this in itself has a problem. If you create an account on someone else’s instance, you are a part of their walled garden. Now I’m sure that they are a wonderful person who equally values data ownership/agency, however it doesn’t change the fact that someone else holds your content/data and you rely on them for that service.

So then the alternative here is self-hosting a single person instance. This solves everything, BUT the fact that its quite expensive to pay for the bandwidth + storage if you are a small instance and end up federating with a lot of instances. This wasn’t a compromise I wanted, since the name of the game with the Fediverse is being able to connect cross-platform. Great if you have the resources, but not particularly worth it for a single person starting fresh. There’s not really a good way to handle this right now, which is why federation with a very large platform like Threads is limited.
