I made a minimal website using Hugo just for writing blogs so I don’t have to post them in groups as posts. Hope it’s fine here. This is not a promotion. No tracking links either.
Because of not having enough time and money to maintain the app, like the implementation of encryption and new features, founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton accepted the deal and sold the app for $19 billion to Mark Zuckerberg.
I imagine I’d also find that I don’t have enough time and money to maintain something if someone offered me $19 billion for it.

Since ever filtered in the Portmaster
Me too. via NextDNS.
This is the way
I gave up on Facebook. I’ve been using the MEWE platform for a long time. I replaced YouTube with Odysee. And for messengers I have Signal, Viber, Line, Telegram, Ratspeak.
I really want to. But around here it’s the de facto Craigslist, really really good for farm supplies and all sorts of used things. And well people use it for the events side, and there’s lots of specific interest groups that are very active and informative. Which is why it’s so hard for me to leave despite the fact I’d enjoy it if Zuck chucks himself into a volcano. I suppose I can just keep making sure I dont click a single ad, though I’m sure they’re making money off me somehow. A frustrating situation.
A lot of what is in this article is already common knowledge. And there’s definitely a “sky is falling” spin to it.
Meta is shit and Zuck can kiss my ass, but the article is a bit sensational.
Hello, not sure you are aware, but you can write blogs articles on Plume to be on ActivityPub directly.
I heard about Writefreely, but Plum is new for me. Also, I checked out that website and saw this.
Project status
Currently, Plume developers have less time, and Plume is not actively maintained. New features may take time to be implemented. Could you consider similar-purpose software? WriteFreely, WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin, and so on?
Anyway, I will check it out and try to write on those platforms if possible.
Sad to hear development is staled. I used to write articles on Plume several years ago and it worked just fine (not sure about Lemmy federation though). WriteFreely was very similar, though it does not support comments IIRC.

The only problem is market place. If you want to seel of buy something locally. Everyone has switched to that.
