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.

I fell for the AMD buying Intel one because it was so dry that it didn't feel like a prank and I still follow hardware news because of said self hosting.

I saw the James Bond new casting one and was skeptical, but also half believed. I was skeptical enough to Google for other sources and the joke was spoiled by the top result.
