   Replying to all the random individuals that seem to think that I’m “endorsing” one of the Fediverse products over any other, and seem to be making a big deal over #akkoma vs #mastodon etc.

   That’s not the case. I’m actually a horrible MIS person, and I would never want to maintain my own server. I’m a programmer for chrissake!

   The same way you should fear me if I hold a soldering iron, you should be very very nervous if I were to do any server management.

   So all credit (or blame) for the choice of Fediverse platform goes to @monsieuricon, who maintains kernel.org and just made it really easy for me to try this out.

   … and on a similar note: not only am I not much of a MIS person, I’m also not much of a social networking person.

   I foresee a lot of disappointment in the future of any followers of this account ?.

     @torvalds @monsieuricon People are too obsessed with their own programs, installations and setups.

     If this works for you, it's good for you. As long as you've covered all your bases.
