Not everyone thinks that way. I’m somewhere in the middle.

While I like setting up my own servers and having private groups etc.

I also find some main stream social media entertaining. I’d prefer if everyone switches to decentralised social media, but yea that’ll take time.

I’d love to have a social media platform without Americans. I’m hoping on TikTok if the US bans it

Another map without New Zealand

I want a discussion. It shouldn’t be that hard to explain.

I’m not going to convince you of Christianity by saying.

Wrong, go read the bible. It’s not that simple.
