  • The difference is twitter is just another big social media platform. Elon Musk isn’t potentially trying to ruin an open source federated alternative that fixes a lot of the problems with social media. He’s just messing around with and tanking a big corpo social media site.

    So I honesty don’t really care about twitter as it will get us more users if he burns it down, if the Zuck doesn’t ruin us first.

    Basically twitter isn’t a threat to us and could actually be a big help.

    Threads could ruin everything we’ve worked for.





  • As someone who is also looking at building a server for different things then you( mainly nextcloud and a few other self hosted services). if you don’t need more then 2tb of storage look into a used HP mini office PC.

    • They are cheap at less then £200 for an older model or even sub £100

    • They are a lot more powerful then an SBC like a raspberry pi but without being an electricity consumption monster like a lot of servers

    • Some have a 60W PSU so they are dirt cheap to run

    • Newer ones have a 2.5 SATA slot and a M.2 slot( including the 60W model I’m looking at getting used). So you can have dual drives for a fast main drive and a backup drive or RAID depending on how you set it up

    • They are small and don’t take up much room in your house like a raspberry pi

    • If you need more space and it doesn’t have to be super fast you could get a USB NAS for it

    So overall they are a really good option if you want something small and you don’t have a ton of money for hardware or electricity but a raspberry pi doesn’t fulfil your performance needs.

    I left reddit after a few weeks of getting any useful info off my saved list. Honesty I’ve been happier these last couple months. Now I only visit reddit( with an ad blocker, because they ain’t making a penny off me) to read help and old opinion threads when I need the info.
