I’ve been hearing good things about peertube and pixelfed, but have yet to really dive into either. Both are free and decentralized like lemmy though :)
I can’t believe I’m only now looking into the decentralized side of the social internet - I’m usually an early adopter lol. Been a boiling frog in corporate for too long.
I get you on the last part, when did everything when to shit lol, I loved to talk around the forums sites back in the days, and now we are afraid of investors that could ruin our meeting places???
