@bitzero @jali thank you for the kind words and encouragement. Side note: my next longread for my blog will be a step-by-step guide about how to install #YunoHost and #NextCloud from the POV of a non-dev. I was soooo intimidated a year ago and didn't know where to even start... so sometimes the POV of people like me is important, with the ultimate message: "see, you can do it, it's not that hard" (thanks to fantastic tools like YunoHost).

But devs get all my admiration and praise!

@Karlitschek
Fuck them, let's build the infrastructure we want and need.

No need to overstate and claim we're 'not allowed' by the US to have this discussion. That's simply incorrect. It's also inflammatory rhetoric and distracts from an important narrative of #selfdetermination & #digitalsovereignty by shifting the focus back to #bigtech.

Shout-out to @sindum for moving a scout group off #microsoft and over to #nextcloud

This is unbelievable. So Europe is not even allowed to discuss how to be more independent from Big Tech? #Nextcloud

Good morning Fedi friends!

The results of yesterday's poll are in: 53% of you voted for #NextCloud – as in: the software I should showcase in my #YunoHost / #selfhosting for newbies step-by-step guide.

I've been self-hosting NextCloud for 4 months now and it has become absolutely essential to me, replacing Dropbox, Google Docs, Google Drive and WeTransfer. But it has so many more capabilities too!

I'm excited to do a show & tell.

Yay for #DigitalSovereignty and independence from #BigTech ✊

Good morning Fedi friends!

I'm running a poll on my Mastodon account, asking people to vote for the software I should feature in my #selfhosting for newbies / #YunoHost step-by-step installation guide:

🔗​: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/115422407120803629

I put down as options #GoToSocial, #Mastodon, #Sharkey and #NextCloud.

Less than an hour in, over 100 people have already voted.

No spoilers here (and vote if you can) but my heart aches a little for the fact Sharkey didn't get much love. It's the fedi software I'm most tempted to install because I LOVE its UX/UI... it's just that I have enough ActivityPub profiles as it is 🤪​

It totally makes sense to see what's the popular choice for now and I'd be thrilled to feature it in my guide, as it has become absolutely essential to me.

Still, my face right now as I think about Sharkey: 🥲

Wishing you all a lovely day!
