John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed

I wouldn’t mind having some ads, but I wonder how some more extremists users would react.
But I strongly believe that depending on donations is a very tough place to be, it places the burden of “begging” on the instance owners, which are already doing all the work and should definitely be compensated somehow.

Also, porn.
Where is this abhorrent content? I need to know so i can avoid it....

Is sh.itjust.works not federated with lemmynsfw.com? Or maybe you use a Front page or Local feed. Here on world (no comment on the instance wars), lemmynsfw communities pretty regularly show up on my All feed. Seems like whatever they do with posts over there really makes the "Active" sorter happy, if you know what I mean

That's why I donate monthly to my instance
A pretty decent sized instance managed will uses a few boxes and some CDN, runs a couple to a few hundred a month, it doesn't take that many people paying to cover it.
It's not as bad managing the smaller instances. The app works like it says on the tin until you get really big.
IMO lemmy.world let themselves get WAY bigger than they should have. They had to start doing a hell of a lot more work to keep the thing up.

You mean Last Week Tonight? The Late Show is Colbert.

They are, probably even too quiet. But the level of griefers, bots and trolls is very very low, and selfishly, I REALLY like that.

Wait how is Squid this popular?
-
Also dull people

Don't forget the Trekkies.

It costs me less than $10/mo to run mine and some of that is because I have to pay for an email forwarder until my hosting provider lets me start sending emails, part of that is factoring the cost of the domain name. The actual cloud server costs $5/mo right now.

Isn't it easier to handle most users on on server than it is to have a bunch of equal servers? Then the problem just moves off the one server towards the communication between the servers being the bottleneck.

It is to twitter.
-
Its not, this incident will be reported to the nearest democracy officer.
-
Don't forget Margot Robbie
-
True. For now I'm happy to just see Twitter lose.
-
Exactly, don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Someone using BlueSky over Twitter is a good thing.
-
What did Lemmy do that made him a monster?
-
The porn is sadly lacking, actuallly.

There we go. I was waiting to be represented.
