I joined the Fediverse before Vivaldi did. But I also had a Vivaldi account before Vivaldi joined the Fediverse. Ultimately, that is how this account came into being.

Linux Is Best (npub1s4y…rcvy) sent me.

2016 - The mainstream media, all the polls, nearly all the so-called experts, and most of the public, wrongfully assumed, Donald Trump was never going to be elected President.
2024 - Do not assume anything and take nothing for granted. If you want Kamala Harris for President, be sure to VOTE.
You and I, we can like, comment, and share, now and forever, but only our vote will make a difference.

Regular Fedora is not hard to set up, if you are willing to take the time and add some 3rd party repos (RPM Fusion, for example, for non-free media codecs).

Clicking on a link means needing to know it exist. If I created my own Fedi Server, I'd be the lone wolf no one knew about.

The Fediverse has a flaw.
On principle, you have a social network that cannot technically be shutdown. That's great!
But also on practice, starting up your own instance means being that lone wolf, and shouting into the void. If you're not part of Vivaldi DOT Social, for example, and you visit my profile, and you're not yet following me, odds are not all my post show up. Now imagine that on instance, that is all alone in the void with few users.

Issues ranged from software, yes, obviously that was 1st.
But issues also range from admins who should never have been admins. The type of admins who ran old community forums and who are drama queens and who freedom of speech is whatever they agree with (cannot say, for example, you dislike both Donald Trump and Joe Biden).
I like the software, Sharkey, but I do find the general use in practice to be discouraging.

A personal observation that I dislike is it seems many of the Sharkey instances experience issues.
It is a shame, because I do like Sharkey. But one of the reasons I kept hopping from one instance to another instance is I would join these so-called well-known instances, only for them to have some issues.
Mastodon is "OK". I dislike that you cannot move your post with Mastodon. I have a backup of all my content on my local PC which I can port into any Sharkey instance, but Mastodon moving means starting over.
