@praveen I was listening to an (old) episode of @hello's #Decentered podcast with @jesseplusplus where they were discussing something similar. Crazy how platforms like #Meta coerce you into staying on saying "awww look at all these friends you're going to leave behind!" as if you have no way of keeping in touch with them outside your network 🙄

(Federation takes it a step further, of course, because you don't "abandon" your friends even *on* the platform you're leaving!)

Had a chance to listen to @pfefferle@mastodon.social on WeDistribute's Decentered podcast. Surprisingly informative, and eye opening just how locked down shared hosting providers are.

Things we take for granted like the ability to mount routes on /.well-known (they could be blocked!)... or that you can't always assume cron is available.

Having used a VPS for years, I would never go back to shared hosting, but you definitely cannot argue with the convenience, ease of use (CPanel, et al.), and most of all, value for money. However, those three come with significant trade-offs in terms of flexibility and power.

Kudos to you Mattias for having the patience to try to get those shared hosting providers to change. If I were in your shoes I'd just tell them to hop on over to a different provider!

Just a small, humble request: if you haven't given it a listen yet, please give the #Decentered podcast a chance.

If you listened to #DotSocial and enjoyed it, I think you'll really like what we're doing. It's a different feel and a different environment, but we're talking to all sorts of people building the #Fediverse and other decentralized social platforms.

We're a lot smaller that Dot Social, and a lot scrappier, but we put our hearts into every episode. Give @decentered a try.

We sit down with people building incredible things, and talk about their story, what they're building, and what their visions are.

Amount of new podcast episodes to edit for #Decentered: 5, and growing. 😫

Make no mistake, this is a great problem to have. We're getting better at doing interviews, and the processes are getting faster and easier. There's an unbelievable amount of fascinating subjects in the pipeline!

It's just a lot. I can't wait for the day that I can afford to pay someone to do the editing for me. 😅
