Arguably the best ones. Because you know their moderation is on lock.

Debian with CasaOS!

Yes, it is frequently misused, but not in this case.

I always laughed when someone called us a “janitor” after we banned them. Like you understand in this analogy you are the trash being taken out, right?

He has to just be riling up the “freeze peach” crowd with that line. He must know that a “users vote” way of selecting mods is always going to be a race to the bottom in terms of diversity and quality as nobody with a unique vision is going to subject themselves to the will of a bunch of reddit-brained people.

When I was part of the Vaxxhappened protest I came to the realization that pretty much all mods of big communities are not “power happy” autocrats, but on the whole surprisingly weak-willed and living in a perpetual fear of getting removed. It was sad, but I have to imagine Reddit Inc is very happy with the arrangement. These people are working 24/7 for free, on one of the many indistinguishable feeds of memes. I was very surprised the API protest happened to the degree it did at all.

Compared to TrueNAS, CasaOS is more of a “platform for running apps”, but unless you’re storing dozens of terabytes of improtant data in RAID or something, it’s still probably the easier/lower maitenence option.

If you are more interested in running apps than having a NAS, I recommend trying CasaOS. TrueNAS is great, but I found CasaOS significantly more straightforward, especially when it comes to smb shares (it’s like two clicks).

Also TrueNAS uses ZFS which is good for what it is, but means you basically need a machine running TrueNAS to read/write the drives in case something goes wrong.

idk that’s why I asked

Apologies if you’ve answered this elsewhere but I’m assuming there’s a reason you haven’t bought your own router?

No problem! I really like it!

TrueNAS is very good at being a NAS. I used it for some time but eventually moved to CasaOS because it’s better at being a home server.

I was pleased to see Lemmy get a shout out in the Verge’s recent “Case for the Fediverse” article. I wonder if it attracted anyone new.

How does defederating make it harder?

When you’re federated together, you get a copy of every post on your server.

Nope. Only followed accounts (or in Lemmy’s case, communities), and only toots (posts) made after the first user starts following it.

Which could still be millions?

AFAIK, there is only one Threads.net

no benefits

I hate and don’t trust Meta, so the main benefit for me would be the ability to follow Threads users from my nonprofit, ad free, tracker free, Mastodon account I already have. I don’t want an account with Meta.

Won’t the amount of users using meta effectively be a ddos attack on the smaller instances though?

Nope, because Threads users will be visiting Threads, not sh.tijust.works (or mastodon.social or whatever). So even if 10,000,000 Threads accounts decide to follow a single mastodon.social account, that account’s instance only syncs it with Threads, not every single user.

why is meta freaking out so hard

Unless I missed something, they’re not. I’m pretty sure they haven’t commented on the topic whatsoever.

No, they don’t even need an instance, all of the data is public and freely accessible.

You can of course add it to your bio if you’re a fan, but you might want to be aware that it will increasingly not be interpreted innocently.

No haha I know I just have yet to hear why it would help
