   #Meh

   ... I am not having fun on Social Media much anymore.

   Meta platforms are good for the occasional image that is out there, Instagram for the Bikini Models, and little else.

   I used to admin forums and such for small niche communities and frankly I want back to that.

   #Mastodon was the first try for me into the Fediverse. I have liked running my own instance and controlling it as I desire.

   The PixelFed instance I finally finished seems pretty nice as a site to focus on my van project and the photography I plan to engage in as I travel.

   I still haven't gotten the NodeBB forums up, but they are next on the list. Even if I don't end up with a lot of people taking part.

   Sites are still on my agenda as well.

   I just don't care for anything else about the big guys these days. Deleted my old Reddit and recreated an account just to comment on Fediverse and Vanlife mostly.

   This is just me Ranting.

     @CWSmith I thoroughly enjoy Fediverse, I just REALLY wish I could get a closer experience to corporate social media and be able to follow game dev companies and such for game update info.

     Don't think that'll ever happen at this point though, cause the Fedi mafia keeps making it hard to build anything useful here.😩

     It does seem to have some issues with folk wanting to maintain a walled garden and only allow those they approve of in.

     But I am gonna build my communities and activate Federation on all of them and try to bring more people in still.

     What else is there to do?
