Why do you want to be listed?
to be used π It's nice to have a few people with me to discuss something. It's all loneliness right now π₯Ή
I use my own instance. Itβs fine and I interact with whoever I want. Including you, now.
This is what fediverse is for right! Salute you from my instance π«‘
And Iβll salute you from my instance π«‘
And why would you create your own instance in the first place?
I was using sh.itjust.works first but its banned by Beehaw. I see that best bet for long run is self-hosting.
And what about using some other big instances? (World, ML and such) Too bad about the banning though
Generally speaking, it's fantastic if people branch out like this and the threadiverse is fragmented into many smaller instances.
It relieves bigger instances of (some) content moderation, and as long as the community hosted at the server behaves well it should remain federated with all reasonable instances.
It also prevents one or a few instances from becoming monopolistic, ensuring that the Fediverse will live on in a decentralized and egalitarian way. Theres nothing in the nature of the fediverse indicating that big instances should be preferable over smaller ones - it's rather the other way around.
There's also personal reasons of course. If you self host you also get to make all the calls who to federate with - do you want to associate with Threads? Lemmygrad? LemmyNSFW? The "free speech absolutist" crowd? Self hosting gives you control.
Some people also just enjoy having control over the services they use, and some just enjoy tinkering. selfhosted@lemmy.world is a nice community if you're curious. :)
Really interesting answer, ty for sharing your thoughts
I can also see, if it doesn't exist already, communal ban lists that people can voluntarily apply to their instance. If the ban list gets heavy handed, people won't use it.
Yes, this is absolutely a thing - there's a shared list that most of Mastodon has gotten behind. Not without drama of course, but generally it seems to be working well.
World is also banned and ML is always slow, unstable. Isn't there better fit instances? Yes there are. But I just want to try this.
Understandable, I was just curious. Good luck mate!
to be used
Have you considered cats?
I'm from Turkiye so I don't need to own a cat. They are already rule us π I'm more of a cat person also.
(really I should have said something like to people to use right?)
Turkiye
Oha lan!
really I should have said something like "to people to use" right?
Oh I don't know, I think the grammar was fine. I was just trying to be punny π.
Done! Look forwarding to using this instance as my main Lemmy account
Thank you! I promise that I'll keep the instance up for as long as I can!
done ; good idea to use lemmony ! fediverse is a rich world ...
Welcome sir π«‘
I wondered. Can u use jerboa or other app with your own instance.
Itβs a standard instance. So yes I can use.
That's great ππ»
