What in the actual fuck? Does he have to collapse the ambling corpse even further so he can discover why the ability to block existed and then re-invent it but shittier to convince himself it’s necessary?

Ah fuck well you just determined the course of my weekend with this comment

This just blew my fucking mind

If it’s ever something you want to try, it’s one of the easier servers to self host and there’s a lot of helpful resources out there. There really isn’t any coding involved outside of editing a few configuration files unless you want there to be.

This is one reason that I think many people should consider running their own single-user instance or tiny instances for close friends/family.

One of the problems with centralization is literally the fact that this can happen. The more small servers the fedi is comprised of, the stronger it is. There are also a huge number of benefits to this configuration on an individual level as well.

EDIT: Re: importing/exporting your old account is, unfortunately, a thing that cannot be done currently. I’m happy to be corrected on that, though.

Unrelated but I’m very impressed with how well this posted to Lemmy from Mastodon. Exceptional

I think he’s finally figure out The Thing this time, guys.

They probably spent more than $250 in labor just filing and sustaining this dumbfuck fine.

I have a racknerd KVM VPS running a socks5 proxy and a mastodon instance. It’s been great!

BUT THE MARKET SHARE!!!

Watching every platform ruin itself to become a facsimile of every other platform is deeply infuriating and exhausting

I fucking hate shorts so much. I completely blocked them:

I just need it to be F STAB

A) Never feel bad about asking for a bigger cut of the money they make off of your labor

B) lmfao how are you making so much more than me. I’m a senior engineer at an IT company haha

Well the protestors will have to stop now that they aren’t allowed to protest

I used this: https://redact.dev/

I checked earlier today and, at a cursory doomscroll, everything appears to remain deleted so far

It surprises me too on some level because it does seem very obvious.

I’ve also learned on multiple occasions over the years that I value different things and I value them much more strongly than a large swath of the selfhosting community. That may speak to whether or not people selfhost for ideological, practical, or other reasons that I am unaware of but, at the end of the day, I find myself disappointed that the version of the selfhosting community that I imagined and thought I was on the same page with is simply not the selfhosting community that exists.
