Might be worth remembering here that Lemmy instances, including .world are hosted by regular people. Not massive multinational companies worth billions who can engage the best legal talent around.

If Hollywood comes after a Lemmy instance, Holywood have a huge legal team and endless money. The Lemmy instance has some guy. They could quite literally destroy a persons life. With that in mind, I don’t blame any instance owners for erring on the side of taking a stance that won’t put them in the legal firing line.

Ah, OK.

Yunohost installs a whole OS - Debian 11 - so you’d be essentially be flattening the drive.

Big fan of Gogs personally. Simple, light and a doddle to install.

Check the link in OP’s post.

Subscriber numbers mean little. Take a look at the trend for the posts per day and comments per day graphs. They’re far more accurate indicators of the level of engagement actual users are having with reddit.

I’ve just checked for 10 of the subs I used to subscribe to, 2 of which have over 30m subscribers - all of them have the same downward trend in terms of posts and comments. I’m not saying reddit is in trouble but less new content is being created and that which is is being talked about less, eventually that will take a toll.

Github owned by Microsoft you mean? That Github?

Glib reply aside (sorry), in my opinion, any commercially owned entity has one sole reason for its existence - profit. And in the name of pursuing that, they’ll do literally anything to achieve it. I don’t see that as a healthy thing for the fediverse.

One thing I’m wondering about tailscale or zerotier or setting up a VPN on a VPS - how would that affect me using a 3rd party VPN client (e.g. Proton, Mullvad etc) on my PC and/or phone?

To connect to a locally hosted service using one of those options, would I have to first disconnect from the 3rd party client?

I understand a lot of the arguments made and in reality you’re right, if they want our data, they’ll get it.

However, I also think that making it as difficult and therefore expensive as possible for them is a legitimate way to respond and make it clear to them that they are here on sufferance and not welcome. That might be seen as immature and pointless and maybe that’s so, but I do think it’s important to defederate from Threads to demonstrate our collective unwillingness to become their commodity.

Audiobookshelf got an android app too.
