Made a Migration!
I made a migration from Github page into Codeberg pages for my blog hosting.
I also made several more changes regarding my social circle by limiting the interactions on my old social media and migrating to the new ones. From Discord to Matrix, Twitter to Mastodon, Reddit to Lemmy/PieFed… The migration gave me much needed fresh breeze of seeing new kinds of people, reminding me that the world is wide and there are varieties of people in it. It was hard to believe the stark difference between those groups, taking into account that both groups are on the Internet. Well, one’s on the Fediverse specifically but still.
The biggest difference for me was the amount of the background level stress caused by reading hyped posts written by Kool-Aid drinkers about using generative AIs, which made me increasingly frustrated for the last 10 or so months in my previous social group. This is one of the main reason why I migrated from Github to Codeberg (Codeberg explicitly declines to host LLM-related projects) too.
Maybe it was because I made those social connections in the job, or related fields on the Internet in the past, but it was hard to find people with the similar level of disgust against generative AI as I did in the last social group I was in. I figured that it would be mutually beneficial if I just got out of that group, instead of me continuously being frustrated at their posts and ranting about them.
And voilà, what I found was the group I really felt safe in it. I’m currently participating in the new community cherishing how important it is to have a safe haven to belong to. “The space that you don’t have to censor yourself when you say your beliefs out loud” was important for your mental health after all.
Expect some more blog updates to come. I planned to use the blog to log and compile what happened to me in the beginning, but I’m logging them on Notion and Obsidian instead now. I got some topics to write about and share other than those daily event loggings, so I’m planning to publish some in the future.
Here are links to my new socials below. You can also check them on the main page of my blog.
