I’m here because it’s eventually going to be the better alternative.

FOSS by its nature, will keep on improving. And proprietary bloatware, by its nature, will only gonna get worse.

    Also don’t let media tell you that something is dead.
    If people are using it, it’s not dead.
    If you’re getting value out of it, it’s not dead.
    Something doesn’t need to have half the world using it to not be dead.

      This is such a nice mentality to have. Believing in the value of things of your own accord also helps you become resistant to marketing tactics such as planned obsolescence! Instead of being told that something is of no worth anymore and keeping on buying the latest things, you end up appreciating the things you have for what they’re worth, leading to a more sustainable outlook of life and more conscientious consumption.

        Yup, you can definitely extend this way past social media. Whatever it is, if it works for you, don’t let anyone tell you that it shouldn’t. It’s too easy to get swept up in opinions of the masses. I like quiet spaces. You hear much more there.
