I was trying to run my own personal-use instance of LiveJournal back 20 years ago when it was open source (and not owned by Russia). Just to see if I could, as is the spirit of a tinkerer.

There was a handful of paid staff as well as a bunch of enthusiastic volunteers, so I expected one of them to answer a low-priority newbie support request, not.. what I got.

Unfortunate, but to be fair, things have changed a lot in 20 years.

There are definitely still angry linux nerds on forums, but I think the experience is a lot more streamlined.
