If someone curiously inquired me on this type of information I’d tell them without giving a second thought.

This is the difference between you and people who care about their privacy, then. I would happily talk about that to someone I trusted, but not a random person on the street, and certainly not someone whose interests I know don't align with mine, which is mostly true of every company on Earth. Not to mention that any of these companies could be subpoenaed for this information at any time, which would be an issue if the law changed to make something I do illegal.

We wouldn't need to intimidate people if we weren't all up in the business of other random countries, constantly inciting coups, etc.

Personally, I do not think that we should be the police of the world, and I don't want to spend my tax dollars on it.

We don't need a global logistics network.

Poor data management practices on the part of this admin.

I honestly don't think that most people understand how incredibly bloated the US military budget is. Even if you accept the premise that we have to have the biggest military in the world, so much money is spent on overseas military bases that don't meaningfully contribute to our national defense. We have >750 military bases around the world so that we can intimidate other countries into doing what we want, which is both wasteful and evil. Learn more at Al Jazeera

  • tenforward.social is a good general instance with wide reach and strong moderation in balance
  • weirder.earth is much cozier because of its extensive blocklist and community cohesion
  • one instance is for my family
  • one instance is for porn and NSFW posting in general
  • on instance is for a specific kind of fiction

Bill Nye (the Science Guy). Total jerk, unfortunately.

I have five other Fediverse accounts, mostly on some flavor of Mastodon :) Most notably, @noracodes@tenforward.social.

Good timing on their part; I just rejoined Tumblr in order to reconnect with some friends and this is just the push I needed to delete my account again.

This seems unnecessarily snarky.

 

I've seen a lot of people saying things that amount to "those tech nerds need to understand that nobody wants to use the command line!", but I don't actually think that's the hardest part of self-hosting today. I mean, even with a really slick GUI like ASUSTOR NASes provide, getting a reliable, non-NATed connection, with an SSL certificate, some kind of basic DDOS protection, backups, and working outgoing email (ugh), is a huge pain in the ass.

Am I wrong? Would a Sandstorm-like GUI for deploying Docker images solve all of our problems? What can we do to reshape the network such that people can more easily run their own stuff?
