right now I consider my fediverse and self hosted stuff as my 'real' profile. bluesky falls into the same category as linkedin, a necessary evil for my 'professional' profile.

So no, I won't be leaving mastodon (or lemmy).

Sigh, here we go again. I jumped on board because it’s where my friends are. Was pleasantly surprised that most of my old twitter follows are already there. Still, given the history I’m being careful and ready for the next enshittification exodus.

I wish folks would just embrace self hosting and decentralization but we obviously love to make the same mistakes again, and again, and again…
