@solrize I have accounts on Lemmy, PieFed and Mbin. Wrote about them this summer https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-4-lemmy-piefed-mbin/ π€ these days Iβm mostly using #Lemmy and I really really enjoy it
It's great to see you here, but you should have been around for Usenet. :)
@solrize someone here told me about the concept of Eternal September (I think it was @nimi) and I was so fascinated by it, I ended down a Usenet rabbit holeβ¦ which prompted me to get a Raspberry Pi 5, install Ubuntu on it and begin to learn Linux π€
By the way, if you want to learn about free software as a political movement, you should check into the history of the GNU project.
@solrize will do, thanks! π
This book (free downloads available) is a good start:

@solrize thank you! π
