If I wanted to see content from my racist Trumper uncle, I would just create a Facebook account. Keep Threads far away from the rest of the Fediverse. We don’t need to compete with them. Who cares if they’re way bigger with way more content if 99% of that content is garbage?

So can I just start running my only instance on my home server and just let only a few friends use it, then federate with the rest?

I’ve got an invite code if you want to check it out! Shoot me a message if so.

I always stayed anonymous on Twitter, but it’s turning into too much of a cesspool these days. Have you checked out Blue Sky at all yet?
