  • Yes, currently the monthly donations exceed our hosting costs!

  • My setup is quite complex and I have 1000+ MAU so we're not a small instance anymore. That said we use hetzner, ovh, and mailgun. Our hosting hosts are more than 100 per month but I could probably be running a bit cheaper if I wanted, but this way we have easy growing space.

  • About 5-20 eur/month should be enough for most instance admins, depending on their provider.

  • It gives me confidence. I know that now that I host my own lemmy, I cannot be randomly banned because I triggered some automatic spam filter with my scripts (happened in reddit), or banned because I talked back to the wrong mod. I know that our internationally distributed nature makes it harder to control top-down, so takeovers like Musk-Xitter are not possible. We can still be affected by disinfo campaigns and troll farms, and we unfortunately have weakened defenses against that, but I'm confident that a lot of smart admins and tooling providers will bunch together to figure out the countermeasures that will work.

  • Incidentally, this is why Mastodon relays exist.

  • blaze "lemmy-linked" to my blog, probably because the UI autofill suggested it and they didn't double check

  • Welcome, don't forget to claim and tag yourself on fediseer. Make sure you provide the target instance to guarantee for you when soliciting a guarantee. They will get a PM ;)

  • We already have that on our instance. It's a tiny step to also have discourse-style achievements, but I really need some ui devs to help me actually display the damn things natively 😅

  • No argument there, just disputing the "USA now controls all of North America, all the way down to and including Panama." part. Arguably they already do control that part using soft power, but by Trump fucking that up, they might actually lose that control

  • Lol USA can't conquer shit. Every nation they've invaded has been a shit show and those were basically failed states already

  • Ok I will admit I chuckled at this

  • Hah that was in my listenbrainz recommendations

  • changes underwear

  • 2 points.

    • Whether something is decentralized doesn't mean it can't have algorithms. Lemmy has algorithms too, just not "learning" ones. But there's no reason why it couldn't.
    • bluesky isn't decentralized and can never truly be
  • I would be very surprised if that's actually true for everyone. Sounds like an isolated problem for that user. L.W. is hosted in some monstrous HW

  • Cruelty. Cruelty is the reason. I can't believe you're still trying to reason with fascists.
