Hey Lemmy. I hate Facebook. But I miss Marketplace. So I built Garage as a means to reclaim Melb's 2nd hand marketplace from Meta (cause fuck Zuck). It's pretty new but check it out below (getgarage.com.au)

I built Garage as a side-project and have finally realised it into production. I'm just a dude working full-time, renting in Caulfield and out of pocket for it. But I'd rather pay to host Garage than have Zuck sell me. Your support means a lot!

Mods: I realise rule 5 says no ads. If this breaks it, I'll remove. I'm not really selling anything, just trying to give people a second option to Facebook.

For what it’s worth, Gumtree now belongs to eBay I believe. What they get out of it, I have no idea.

The last thing I sold, I used Gumtree. I waited ages to sell it, I didn’t have to and it ended up going to the right person which was important for this item. It still worked okay for me.

I like this, I think it’s worth getting behind.
