Huh. Food for thought.

@evan@cosocial.ca asks for a show of hands of people who have quit a social network and later gone back.
More than a few hands go up.
"And this is in a room of people who are really good at quitting social networks... and making their own"

Oh hey look!

Oh here's a hot take.
"To a large extent, media still thinks corporate social media matters, even if they were kicked off of X or Facebook" (paraphrased)

Everything on the table:
I should do this, but have been waiting because I *really* want to self-host the main #Emissary and #Bandwagon accounts on my own software.
Right now, Emissary is a great PUBLISHER and READER, but it does a poor job with DMs. So I couldn’t really use Emissary to support questions like this one.
It’s been on my roadmap for a while, and it’s why I’m excited to build #e2ee DMs, too.
But I do plan to launch these as soon as I have a good solution for DMs.
