it is, but what’s depicted is true. Even Luis Elizondo said “stick with it”, that there’s something to it.

My favorite is PixelFed. I’m an artist, so Instagram was important for me, but for a few years now it’s absolutely terrible (no reach at all with their special algorithms). PixelFed fixes all that, it replicates the feeling of IG as it was 8-10 years ago: chronological feed, tag-based, no extraneous features. I’m really enjoying it, as I can finally grow again my followship as an artist: https://pixelfed.org/

Not a bad DE, but nearly unmaintained lately. The development of it has been crawling.

XMPP was better known as Jabber back in the day, and most of us used Pidgin to connect to it. I used it for about 10 years or so.

I think the guy is for real, because if you read the mod’s posts on his thread, you would see that something extremely fishy was happening with his accounts. Reddit had shadowbanned him, and after the mods explicitly green lit him, his replies were not showing up! And then he got his account deleted, and had to create a new one, only to get deleted again. Something fishy is happening over there, which by itself is a cause for concern for the guy/gal.
