The second best time to migrate is today.

The first step is appraising your needs.


Just lost support for your perfectly good hardware? Formally or casually de-supported hardware collecting dust?

Wishing Narrow Intelligence was an optional model instead of being disguised as an 'ai friend' and built into basic applications or even operation system cores?
Interested in LLM but like it to be fully optional, or want to run a small system yourself? Or maybe get into automation scripting?

Reasonably concerned for the well-being and access ability of your minority neighbors and community members?
Wish you could move platforms in a coffee break if the owner-operator gets really chill and chatty about trafficking and extermination?

Just need to display information but your platform added a login or pay wall, or biometrics checkpoint that stops viewers?

How much website do you really even need?
just a page with hours and address that's easy to update? A few pages with a calendar or a shop plugin? No competing against ads on your own page.

Sick of ads for scams, malware, and unchecked natsi stuff?*

Just fed up with internet 3.0 extra hoops and animations, and wish it were practical to go back? For some things, it is.

(Wow this section is under live construction!)

No supremacy dogmas. This space observes the tolerance paradox and is pro POC, LGBTQ+, and Landback.
