Comment on Techrights — Internet Relay Chat and Gemini Protocol Help Us Relive the Net of the Dial-Up Era
mesamunefire@piefed.social 1 day agoI was thinking of making a single user instance of piefed once it gets into a more stable place. I ran my own for about a month before just moving over to social/the official one.
Its so nice!

I was considering a single user instance but I noticed just how much data was being transferred throughout the day and decided against it.
I’m drawn to IRC and Gemeni because it seems to use far less data. I’ve lately been into lowering my electrical power usage while still being able to use the internet. That also includes the type of programs my computer and devices use.
Practical or not, it’s been an interesting hobby for myself to learn.

True it federates everything, which can be a bandwidth hog.
