Update: I Joined the Fediverse

I'm gonna finally give Pixelfed a try. Not too hopeful, but seems to have a good foundation.

Feel free to give me a follow or just take a look at my posts if you're on the fediverse: pixelfed.social/hbm

Update: I have disabled my Pixelfed and I'm thinking about just deleting it. It's just as annoying as the big social media platforms, but with 0.1% of the content. Lots of virtue signaling and whining about politics. I knew it was a lost cause when I found myself blocking basically every account I saw on the explore page.

2026 Update: I decided to delete my account completely. That whole project—while technically impressive—is a soulless, hollow attempt to revive that early-Instagram community that has long since gone extinct. I wrote more about this here.

OH WELL, maybe the next platform will be alright.
