I just think we have to be mindful of how we approach this. There is nothing worse than a poor user experience with a “spinning wheel†loading up multi-Megabyte images on a poor Internet connection. Maybe it’s better in the US, but even here in Australia, our so-called 4G/LTE/5G is utter rubbish….
And not even just users, there’s some people like myself even hosting on such a rubbish connection…
I know the easy argument would be just “buy a real host†or something, but if we’re serious about the environment and ease of access for everyone etc etc, I think we need to be a bit more thoughtful than the usual social media alternatives.

We absolutely are. Why stop at:
- No ads
- No tracking
- No complicated protocols
- No eroding at your privacy
- No psychological manipulation
- No modifying your timeline beyond what you want!
- No having to run a Social Media on multi-Billion $$$ Data centers that cost TW of power!
So why not 🤣 We started down this road, let’s keep going 😅 Maybe it’ll catch on 🤔
I’m not very good at creating a “No†pyramid 😂
