Dbzero seemed good until they mentioned anarchism and anti-right-wing directives which means it’s a leftist-first instance and that’s a no-go even if I do support their cause.

Wasn’t it hosted in Finland? Or have things changed?
I enjoyed helping this place grow and doing my part to discuss here but I disagree with this decision and I’m going to evaluate looking for a different home instance.
30 years old or older
I’m 23
Sadly not too many options where I live.
Newer phones are harder to get custom ROMs on and most of them don’t have them.
Not being bri’ish
Just kidding, I’m neither lol
Enshittification is fueled by normies NEVER LEARNING.
Only solution is an older phone with custom ROM
if you’re on Android just use xManager
That yellow background is so unreadable 🍌
Nutjobs should just be ignored, as much as I dislike leftists Meta is an actual massive threat to Fedi.
There was a project called Yacy but it clearly never took off.
just like RSS feeds did not become mainstream while Reddit did, the current state of the fediverse will not gain mainstream popularity; however, it’ll serve as a stepping stone towards a new federated internet that’ll be seamless and intuitive for non-technically-inclined individuals and those who are indifferent to the implications for privacy and digital freedom.
97% of people will only jump from walled garden 1 to walled garden 2
97% chance of being EEE. Suddenly everyone will be coming to the Fediverse but not because they’re interested but to talk to people on Threads. Then they’re going to deviate from the AP spec slowly and become the de facto standard and so on. Or they’re going to pull a Google Chat.
But is hosting your own mail server and using it for work/finances/everyday life still an option? I don’t think so, at least not without workarounds because sooner or later you will have to send/receive to/from big email.
No server is required to use them, and the amount of spam and fraud they filter out is enormous.
Okay you do have a point. The thing is they get abused for email where it’s pretty much a racket. I just really hope Lemmy doesn’t end up the same way, since if some bad faith powerful actor starts having control over a list then they get to dictate which servers can federate and which ones not, which is pretty much a walled garden.
I do get the need to identify malicious instances preemptively though, spambots are a threat wherever we go and some instances are just insufferable like exploding heads.
I think the small instance can temporarily defederate to reduce the load. kbin.social had to do this during the first reddit exodus because they grew too much too fast and couldn’t handle the load.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t go the way of email, it started the same way: federated service controlled by no one. Nowadays big corporations influence banlists to enforce a protection racket and non-compliant instances are both banned and filled with spambots.
I have nothing against Canada itself but it being a US core ally means it’s not safe for piracy.
