Excellent post by @jonielena on @joan-mastadon about building communities in the #Fediverse:
“We don't need to sell our lives to mediocre billionaires. We can build our own social networks and movements! Thanks to the efforts and creativity of some very cool people, we now have the open-source technology to build resilient, democratic digital communities ourselves.”

@admin @darnell @jonielena @joan-mastadon I miss it too, I am considering creating a server at home where I can run open source cloud services so I can re-communitize the internet.

@darnell @jonielena @joan-mastadon I'm 100% on board with this. I have created an entire online presence completely free of Google and big tech social media. I'm on a mission to prove that we can create interesting and even profitable websites, completely separate from monopolistic, corporate digital ghettos. I actually just launched my website today. I launched a Mastodon instance 2 days ago. I have 20 years experience building stuff online. I miss how things used to be.
