Self hosting helps me avoid April Fools (lemmy.today)

I used to enjoy April Fools but I haven't been able to for years and unfortunately find it a day of frustration now.

I just realized I didn't encounter any tricks this year. I'm thinking part of that is I'm spending a lot of my time on services I host so less chances for others to add the tricks.

It feels like rain on my roof. April Fool's disruptions happening outside of the space I've made while my life can continue as I like inside, undisrupted.

Dito, most major outlets and companies that used to do fun things in the past for marketing or for fun have stopped. It used to be my favorite holiday, now adays... Its dry and the humor just isnt there anymore.

There's just not much worth being happy about right now. Its kind of silly to be doing a light-hearted marketing push while people are being shot by their government.

Its the same reason Alien Conspiracies aren't fun any more
