How did you get introduced to fedi? (u.fail)

I heard about via some friends who are into privacy tools and open source software. I first joined Diaspora and then was introduced to Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, etc.

When mastodon got a lot of attention late last year during the twitter exodus I decided to check it out. I wasn't on twitter in any meaningful way, so for me it wasn't a replacement.

I like the ideas behind fedi - I grew up on IRC in the 90s, and fedi feels familiar, like the old internet: distributed, messy, personal... anyways, I ran a one person mastodon instance for awhile, until I realized I wasn't into it enough to warrant the time. So now I just join other people's instances ;)

By the way thanks for setting up the Lemmy instance. @[email protected] when you decide to make uFail stick, please let us know how to support you and the server. Cheers!

Sure thing! Hopefully @stux@[email protected] and I can keep it going with the rest of the team.

I'm planning on keeping u.Fail around for sure! Still gotta fix some little things though

Also.. I got some nice domains like 'forum.fail' and 'share.fail' that may be cool for a #Kbin instance later on!

If you would like to support please see my post here <3 https://mstdn.social/@stux/110095696221482024
