Kia ora te whānau
I have been on a journey of getting away from big tech these last few years. I’ve started self hosting and become increasingly critical of a centralized internet are large digital monopolies.
That being said, there’s parts of social media I really enjoy. I’ve always favoured reddit over facebook and insta but I don’t like that way reddit is going. So I’ve deleted my account and signed up to Lemmy.
I’m so thrilled there is a kiwi sublemmy.
Really pleased to be here. I hope this community grows
Have a lovely weekend folks
Hello! I’m not a Kiwi, but I studied abroad there 21 years ago! ugh that’s a long time. I’d like to come back and visit your beautiful country again. Maybe do the Routeburn Track in earnest. Made it to like the first hut since we were short on time. Is Tui still delicious beer or is it just my youthful tastebuds being nostalgic? Anyway, enjoy your sensible leadership while I suffer away in the last vestiges of the U.S. Sorry our ridiculous billionaires are trying to build bunkers over there.
