Copy that, thank you!

I spun up Ubuntu on a Linode so it should be up all the time. I check the Linode dash fairly often and haven’t seen any issues with it.

This is also managed by IT and is fully traceable as well.

I have unlimited data on my cell and just stay off WiFi altogether. The price premium is worth it to me for this one specific reason alone, let alone the other benefits/convenience.

Same issues except I haven’t noticed any crashing.

Or being able to poop normally when you didn’t just eat Taco Bell.

Yup. The sad truth is there’s no shortage of videos out there just waiting for you to engage, they will feed you literally anything at all as long as it gives them a click and some advertising money. It’s the scariest part about social media and the algorithms, because many many people are not even conscious enough to question what they’re being fed, and will just mindlessly soak it all up and take it as fact.

On the one hand yea it’s out of control and is partially to blame for the dumbing down of society, on the other hand it’s just the evolution of tabloids. People have always been bored and gullible.

I haven’t actually read this yet, but I bookmarked it in case I want to open my instance up to others down the road.

I meaaaan. I’m sure the maintenance isn’t being done just for the fun of it. Presumably if you ran your own instance it would just be you doing the maintenance instead of somebody else.

If you have a reasonable cause and it’s a smaller instance you’d like to defederate from, you can try messaging your instance admin to see how they feel about it. They may happily oblige if they don’t think the instance is contributing anything of value.

edit: not sure how this works regarding the users of that instance, if their comments and posts are blocked as well.
