Fastly, have you no shame. The wanton destruction of a creative-tech era. • Greg Technology

Stonewall was 56 years ago today. What a riot!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #stonewall #pride #riot #lgbtqia #queer #queerart #glitch #glitchart #pixel #graphicdesign

I DID IT. I only had 2 #glitch apps I cared about but I'm off glitch now. Both now on digitalocean with caddy as my reverse proxy and pm2 running the app.

I'm looking at https://val.town as a potential replacement for Glitch. Not for hosting my own work, no, much like with social media, I'm done having to move and start over every few years.

I'm mostly looking for a good tool for teaching others, and this might be a good replacement for that.

Either way, I do appreciate the honesty here.

"Like Glitch, we've raised money from venture capital and it is currently what pays our paychecks and server bills. If it runs out and we haven't become profitable or found an acquirer, that'll be curtains."

I am glad I never used nor recommended glitch dot com as it is now shutting down. It sure felt like a great project, but I am sick of the dependencies we feed when using those kinds of startup’s tools. Make your own tools or use free [software] ones.
If you are interested in an alternative to glitch, check out https://gitlab.com/raphaelbastide/stolon, it is community made, self-hostable and flat file.

I wrote a few words, recounting my experience with Glitch, how much it meant to me, and how unique it is as a tool and a community.
