Kia ora te whānau

I have been on a journey of getting away from big tech these last few years. I've started self hosting and become increasingly critical of a centralized internet are large digital monopolies.

That being said, there's parts of social media I really enjoy. I've always favoured reddit over facebook and insta but I don't like that way reddit is going. So I've deleted my account and signed up to Lemmy.

I'm so thrilled there is a kiwi sublemmy.

Really pleased to be here. I hope this community grows

Have a lovely weekend folks

Kia ora!

I stopped drinking afew years ago as it got me into too much trouble but I'm sure if you come back and try it again it will taste as good as you remember it.

Unfortunately our political situation is much less desirable than it was previously. We just gotta grin and bare it.

Come back and do the track. Hope to see you here some time. It's a beautiful country
