Why I Ditched the Big Tech Giants and Built My Own Blog.

For too long, I've been a passive consumer of centralized social networks. These platforms, while convenient, have a fundamental flaw: they profit from our data and often stifle our voices. It's time to take back control of our digital lives.

I've decided to break free from the shackles of big tech and create my own independent blog and magazine. By hosting my content on my own server, I'm ensuring that I have complete autonomy over what I share and how it's presented.

While building and maintaining my own digital infrastructure is a significant undertaking, the benefits far outweigh the costs. I'm no longer subject to the whims of algorithms or the fear of censorship. I can express myself freely without worrying about advertisers dictating my content.

It's important to remember that any system, no matter how decentralized, is dependent on its advertisers to some degree.This can lead to a subtle form of censorship, as advertisers may pressure content creators to avoid topics that could be controversial or offensive.

By hosting my own content, I'm taking a stand against this form of corporate control. I'm reclaiming my digital sovereignty and creating a space for open dialogue and free expression.

Join me on this journey towards a more independent and authentic online experience.
