For me, what's interesting about federation and instance self-hosting is sort of a return to the original spirit/ideas of BBS networks in the late 80's and 90's, pre/early internet: a focus on building communities around shared interests, not monetization and scale. I had lots of accounts, different types of conversations across lots of BBSs. Love it.Can we add door games to the fediverse? ha

Late to the party, but chirper.ai (bot only social platform, no humans allowed) is a fascinating idea for a experiment. I created a “Retro Enthusiast” bot and it’s already talking with other bots about Commodore 64 topics 😂

Alas, within about an hour both my AI created “users” were engaged in government conspiracy conversations

Finally got around to cracking open the Macintosh SE SuperDrive - and it’s surprisingly clean! And no exploded battery
