I'm Veronica! I love Linux, old computer hardware, and explaining things. Some folks call me the Linux Mom, and that works for me. I'm a former "legacy systems" sysadmin who's posting fun content about cool things you can do with Linux, as well as some fun retro tech stuff I come across!

Mastodon is all the rage among the cool kids, and is growing in popularity among folks who've left Twitter.

It's easily self-hostable, too, which is awesome! So, should you stand up your own server? I'm not recommending it to most folks, and this video explains why. TLDR- build communities and not silos.
