Peertube seems somewhat active. Dunno if that counts as social media.

I have very few heroes. Mr Rogers is one of them.

I’ve used Irish spring for ~15 years. Mainly because it’s green lol

I should probably thank Netflix for helping me save money. Their shenanigans pissed me off enough that I’ve entirely withdrawn from all paid streaming - I have a media server and a VPN now. Total media cost, $70 /year or ~$5.83 /month. For that, I have:

• Access to any movie or t.v. show any streaming service has ever provided
• No ads
• Shows/films don’t get removed from from the platform without warning.

My god. Find something important to be angry about.

Might seem naive, but I actually have a hard time imagining this. There’s just not a lot to make one instance more desirable than another, which seems like a bad thing, but I don’t think it is. I decided against signing up on lemmy.ml because it was laggy, so I went with a smaller instance- all the same content, but without the lag. If a lot of content gets created on one instance, there’s no pressure to pile in, because you can view, comment and interact from a different, smaller instance.
