Days, weeks, or months ago (if that's correct), I subscribed to a managed hosting service.
One of the apps is Lemmy, which I use more frequently than other apps like micro-blog.
Firstly, I paid less than the monthly price because it was days to weeks before the first fixed due date: June 1st.
Then, I was saving my money and doing some business by helping my mother sell and market her gardening materials.
A few days before the first due date, I had more than enough to cover the upcoming major managed hosting service fees.
In Lemmy, it's easier for me to assess whether my opinions or knowledge are compatible or agreeable with the public, partly because of the upvotes, downvotes, scores, and upvote percentage features.
I also experienced in Lemmy that there are many differing opinions; some genuinely support me, while others using Lemmy made me think they need to improve their online attitude and behavior.
I also have the idea or suggestion that Lemmy developers should make a built-in poll feature available, where the poll could include options such as: only local Lemmy instance users can vote (for example, for instance rule changes and policies), and another option allowing users from Lemmy software, whether local or fediverse, to vote.
My Fediverse lifelong journey is still my choice. I find that those very popular social networks aren't relevant for me, such as Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, and X. They are not relevant for me.
It's because they're closed source; I can't view or audit them fully. I have to trust their reputation and terms of service alone.
Paying for managed hosting is awesome because these Fediverse or ActivityPub protocol software and even the client apps are usually free, libre, and open source (FLOSS). At least this gives me a chance to own or rent them as I see fit, instead of blindly following big tech.
Thank you for reading my long essay. Yes, I used AI to correct my grammar.
