It depends entirely on what you are trying to do. There are a few people on YT that have made chips at home. they only have a 100 ish transistors though.

I’m a huge fan of the lack of downvotes on blahaj because it seems to make me focus on the negative less when I can’t interact with it without commenting and taking a ton of time to do so.

But upvotes are still useful because I get some amount of filtering of the absolutely crazy stuff most of the time.

The people that want to be in charge of large groups of people are often the people you least want to be under.

I think a big part of it is because they defeded basically no one. Made it a great instance for modding from but also great for being an alt for people in undesirable instances.
