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

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.

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

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

I don’t understand what you mean. This isn’t new trivia. It’s just a hugely problematic, incestuous, transphobic song

That dude straight up has no fucking idea what’s going on.

Yeah, “Father of a Boy Named Sue” Is really like “What if, instead of writing a good song, I make myself look like a hugely toxic, ignorant piece of shit by writing this song instead”

Wow, they’re doing an impressively shitty job of owning Reddit.

Terry, don’t!

I’m going to be honest, that sounds like we’d just be inventing something for people to get mad about. The entire ethos of decentralization is for that sort of arrangement to not be a thing. Either the charter would have nobody to enforce it OR you’d have to centralize authority.

What you’re describing works for various instances to form a sort of collective with shared ideals but projecting that onto the entire network is antithetical to the entire idea here.

Also, and this is nitpicky, I admit-- You’re not in the Lemmyverse. You’re in the Fediverse, a space in which lemmy is a very new and small part.
