Hello everyone!
I use Xubuntu and try to go the #foss way as much as possible
I've been using Diaspora and the Friendica for a while—now decided to give Mastodon a go! #introductions #newhere
Also trying to get my friends to join the #fediverse (though that's a slow process ).
@badrihippo Are you on Diaspora? Here is mine https://poddery.com/people/c9137600b8b201390011448a5bd87df2
@ravi well, technically yes, but I haven't actually signed on in ages Mastodon is the way to reach me, but for what it's worth: https://diasp.in/u/badrihippo
Hey #DuckDuckGo is not #FOSS, but #Yacy is a decentralized and open source #search_engine
@farooqkz good point! That post was long ago when I didn't fully understand the nuances between #foss and #opensource, and I guess #privacy also crept in somewhere
I should write a new intro, actually
#Mojeek is my default for the moment (not open source I know) but I incidentally stumbled upon @Seirdy's search engines post just yesterday, so I'm exploring those too!

Nice. I should read it later.
