@solrize someone here told me about the concept of Eternal September (I think it was @nimi) and I was so fascinated by it, I ended down a Usenet rabbit hole… which prompted me to get a Raspberry Pi 5, install Ubuntu on it and begin to learn Linux 🤗

Nice! But Usenet is almost dead now. 30 years ago it was like Reddit without advertising and without Spez :).

I think you're doing the right thing having your own site. Lemmy has its attractions but is disappointing in some ways.

By the way, if you want to learn about free software as a political movement, you should check into the history of the GNU project.
