@tcql@octodon.social @typhlosion thanks I don't really have time to fully explore this fast moving meme before jumping in
@gravecat @mawr That's why I said short answer. And even in same instance it boils down to how much you trust your current and all future administrators, the server code's lack of exploitable vulnerabilities now and in the future, etc etc.
As opposed to overworked underpaid birdsite cs reps, I guess.
There's a HUGE difference between a gift economy providing a pittance of support for the people doing the real work of running an instance, and actually monetizing something for ad revenue. I'm massively pro-FOSS and anti-copyright, but that doesn't negate mutual aid and solidarity -- it reinforces the need for it. Please don't be like one of those GamerGate shitlords on Birdsite who snark at anyone with a Patreon.

@kafzeil I'd worked around the first problem for a while by using third party clients, and I've decoupled enough that the latter hasn't directly affected me (yet). I think I got out at a good time.
NB/GQ rambling
@gravecat it's like growing up together! Except selectively adulting adjacent to each other.

NB/GQ rambling
@gravecat I credit you as the person I first heard about nb/gq from, and have waited since the lj days for you to open up more about yourself. I can wait longer still. But in the meantime I've picked up more about it.
I talked a little bit about my gender starting here way back, but it'd take a bit to scroll all the way back for it...
