Finally! My Facebook account is deleted.
My Facebook-Exit is a long story. I never really used it a lot. I used it mostly to have the possibility to contact some people. Especially from university when they went to other countries or so.

Loops soon SelfHosting!
I just saw this post from @dansup announcing self-hosting to be available for Loops “very soon”.
If you haven’t heard about Loops before: Loops is a short-form video platform designed for the decentralized Fediverse, where users share videos like TikTok.
Compared to TikTok, Loops offers a few notable advantages: it’s decentralized, so no single company controls the entire platform or its content. Users and communities can (soon) host their own servers and set their own moderation policies. Federation within the Fediverse is not YET there but I’m very sure it will come soon as well..
I also have an account on Loops since quite early (search “hikingdude”), but I do not (yet) post a lot of videos there. – I’m really considering the self-hosting. Maybe as soon as it’s available – or I wait until YunoHost has it in its app garden.

A New Era of Social Media – Video by Elena Rossini
If you are not following Elena Rossini, you might have missed her really great video about the Fediverse. I find it a very nice and clean way – not focusing on technology but on us, the users. She doesn’t lecture or explain too much – she just shares what she’s found: a space that feels more human. No ads, no algorithmic pressure, just room to breathe and exchange. No ads, no algorithmic pressure, just us.
This video is a colorful introduction to the Fediverse, guided by filmmaker & Fediverse advocate Elena Rossini. Watch now to discover a whole new world of social media, one where privacy is respected, users are empowered, and Big Tech has no say.

I found my replacement for LinkedIn!
If you’ve followed me, you might have noticed that I had pulled back my activities on LinkedIn gradually: I posted less, stopped interacting and deleted my content.
But I kept returning – only to feel the same mix of disappointment and annoyance every time. Eventually, I asked myself: Why did I keep coming back – even though it never felt useful?
