Yeah, firefish.social was a mistake, and I own up to it. I no longer bang the drum on bleeding edge Fediverse projects.

What most of you don’t know is that I now admin akkomane.social, an akkoma+mangane server. It has been going strong since April 2024, hosts 57 accounts, and people there are very happy with the experience.

Why don’t I publicize it more? Because the most important thing to me is a nice, stable environment where people can just use social media. It’s a nice calm, chill place.

Hmm. I'd say it was a failure, but I'm not sure it was a mistake. I know I learned some things from it.

@TerryHancock I mean, I definitely learned things from it. Namely, to take a different approach. And I have.

Last year, I came to a conclusion: I’m in my 40s, without a college degree, and basically unhireable.

Sure, I worked in the tech start-up world for 15 years, and had success there. But nobody was knocking on my door.

For a moment, I thought about going back to school and getting a degree in computer science. I looked at tuition vs. salary, the math didn’t make sense.

But then an opportunity came, I seized it – and it has done very well for me!

Wow, very interesting. What was the opportunity?

@evan It’s a certain hobby of mine that has to do with numbers. 🙂

This isn’t an opportunity that showed up out of nowhere, it’s something that I’ve been contemplating for decades. But last year, I decided that instead of supporting other peoples’ big ideas, I’d finally work on my own.

@adiz @evan Funny, but I’m not working on any big Fediverse projects at the moment. So if anything goes wrong, it certainly won’t affect you.
