I just recently set up unilem.org aimed at federating with everyone. Yes this will include meta. Some will like it and others will not but thats the beauty of the fediverse. You can choose your home or even make your own.
The server is still in very early stages but im looking for everyones input on potential issues I could face so I can start getting ahead of the curve of some of them. Im obviously aware of issues such as bot server and illegal content being fetched etc.
Any other tips on hosting or just is general is will be much appreciated. Mabye you know some tools that could help? Im aware this is very ambitious but i think its possible if done right.
Much thanks in advance for the help.
this is not going to work like you want it; check out the “nazi bar” example
Yeah, I went into free speech absolutism with my IRC server and it’s unbelievable how quickly people will end up testing your limits. Took less than a year before I completely backtracked and went the opposite directly and don’t tolerate slurs anymore. I just welcomes loud and obnoxious people and enforcing rules afterwards becomes pretty hard and causes tons of drama.
I mean just look at where Twitter is going now that Elon welcomed right-wing extremists. All it does is end up driving away the good people and turn into a toxic cesspool.
yeah, like OP isn’t realizing that they’re going to just make another Twitter
if you have it that there are no rules against shittiness and bigotry, then the worst kinds of people will decide to hang around and will drive off everyone else; you’ll have a nazi bar
Well, luckily for all of us, that’s his problem and his mistake to make. We can all just hang out on our unaffected instances
