r/oldhagfashion was a really fun one!
nginx because I like how flexible it is, and I'd started using it as a webserver for normal file serving + PHP site hosting with php-fpm a good time ago anyways.
I'd tried Caddy once but the "quirky" flair included even in things like documentation was far too grating for me, plus I honestly just, don't really like using JSON.
And they really don't stop comin, eh? Corporate social media sites in general keep shooting themselves in the foot lately lmao, I think we're about on track for a massive overhaul in how the internet looks sometime soon. Or, that's what I hope anyways :x
I've already been enjoying posting to Lemmy/etc much more than I ever did Reddit.
Reddit always felt so set-in-stone and unchanging to the point that it made me feel like I arrived "late" to the party even though my first Reddit account was in I think 2015. Once somebody claimed a subreddit with an easy-to-remember name that was largely it, and if you disagreed with their moderating style you had to suck it up or make your own with a more obtuse name.
With Lemmy since everything's decentralized it feels much more... I guess open? If someone makes a !gamedev community that has iffy moderation issues or whatnot, I or someone else can also make a !gamedev comm on another instance without it being a problem at all.
Fedora! Have been super not a fan of Windows for years now so I avoid it hardcore when I can.
Linux in general is a lot easier to set up programming environments on, and also just generally it's a lot more flexible when it comes to customization, which is definitely important when you're a big picky bitchbaby like I am.
Fedora specifically I like because there's something I just really like about RHEL-related distros (to the point that i use Rocky Linux on my server also). They feel really polished and dnf is probably my favourite package manager of all the ones I've tried so far. I do have a few issues with it, and I miss having access to the AUR when I used various Arch-baseds over the years, but all in all I'm very happy with it and I don't see myself switching distros for desktop use any time soon.
I honestly almost started my own instance a while back, I was looking at kbin and the far more obscure lotide. I opted not to though because I already run an Akkoma instance and I don't wanna take on the load of having to maintain and moderate more fedi instances lol
