Found out about Oracle’s free VPS offering, which I’m so excited about! I’ve always wanted to learn more about system administration, and everything going on with lemmy + reddit has been kind of the perfect storm for me to experiment. I’m hoping this period of general optimism about this new platform stays for a good while longer.

Hilariously parental of them, but perfectly on-brand!

The fact that instagram users can migrate their accounts to Threads (presumably with very little configuration) is huge. I don’t feel like it would impact this side of the internet as much but twitter could look like a very different place a year from now. Doubt they’ll be trying to federate.
