  • half the people here are only here because they were too toxic to be anywhere else?

    This is an obvious generalization that is in no way verifiable with any level of quality, right? This is that classic bias from loudest most visible nuisances(not the correct name for it, but I feel it’s good enough)

    At the end of the day, toxic users are the way they are due to a relationship with attention. So long as we are the little guy who’s focused on interest-driven communities, toxic users will not feel welcome here by default.

    My only issue with this is that a ‘centrist, religious, american’ is never going to put the necessary effort to even gaze outside the labyrinth of walled-gardens. So you’re hoping to cater to the very demographic that is the last to ever find visibility of such a platform

  • Wow, that point about the public instances was quite unknown to me at the time and explains a lot of my initial frustrations for sure. I’ve been looking into getting started self-hosting but am unsure what kinds of important but also safe tools I should start with as a newbie. I need a guide or ranking resource of some sort. Maybe I just lurk c/self-host bunches for now tho

    I have great admiration for those that maintain public instances, but it sounds like I need to again try to get the self-hosting ball rolling if I aim to truly further the privacy-preserving cause
