You might want to include @protonprivacy@mastodon.social
You've ascended! You're now part of the real world!
I used a straight edge. They aren't lined up.
I have a Mastodon, Friendica, Peertube, and a PieFed instance. I'm an Admin.
Let me make sure I understand. You are asking whether I would care if you were using my server, and you asked a different server Admin to remove your data from their server (and probably ban you on that server)?
If this is what you are asking, I personally wouldn't give it any thought. It's your data. If you don't want it on some other server, then you certainly have that right. I frankly don't think any Admin would have a problem with this. Even the opposite would be fine. If someone asked me to remove their data that came in remotely.
I might even be impressed that you are enforcing and thinking about your rights to privacy and your right to control your own data.
Everyone is answering about wearing a mask, when the poster clearly makes the point that they don't have one. They can't just poof it from the air. The answers are not helpful.
The question is about whether shallow breathing and nose or mouth breathing is better. It's a very particular question. An interesting question.
Does anyone know, with real scientific knowledge, what the answer to this specific question is? Can anyone answer to the specific question?
As one Admin to another, I'm sad to hear that we're losing a good instance. And, I'm sorry that people ruined your fun.
Thanks for all you've done. All the best to you.
You have to use hashtags on Mastodon if you want your messages to be seen because there is no AI to fill timelines. People follow hashtags and search for them. Then you'll get likes and boosts.
And, you control your own timeline by following hashtags, following people, and searching for hashtags. This way, unlike Twitter, your timeline only has posts that you are interested in. Once you get this set up, it's quite nice to only see posts that you like reading, without advertising and without posts meant to enrage you.
Also you can use https://fedi.directory to find great people to follow.
Mine won't nor will any of my other 3 Fediverse servers.
I know of a number of Mastodon servers that have already de-federated or limited threads.net, even though it does not yet connect to the Fediverse. Some are even limiting or suspending connections to servers that refuse to de-federate from threads.net and are trying to pressure other servers to do the same.
An Admin has no right to force their personal agendas onto all the people who are on their servers. People are competent enough to make their own decisions and can individually decide to block or limit Threads. I block servers on my server to protect members from hateful people.
I will limit threads.net if their moderation is inadequate, just as I do now for a number of Mastodon servers that don't do much to keep hatred and offensive content off their servers. This won't prevent anyone from following someone or being followed by someone, on threads.net. It just means that people on my server need to approve being followed and that posts from threads.net won't show up in the public timeline.
At this point, I haven't heard of any Kbin instances planning to de-federate but there's a ton of yacking about it on Mastodon. I finally muted the "threads" hashtag to get some peace from it.
kbin.social must still be having severe problems. Ernest posted this a day ago:
ernest@kbin.social
We're experiencing massive delays on the queues today. We're actively working on a solution,
and I think we're getting really close. Just wanted to let you know ;)
One thing you might try doing is switching to a different KBIN server. The smaller ones are probably Federating just fine with Lemmy and the other KBIN instances, although everyone will have trouble Federating with kbin.social.
I wonder why Ernest doesn't turn off new sign ups on kbin.social and ask people who want to join KBIN to do so on a different instance so the problems there aren't exasperated?
The cost depends on who you use for hosting. I use Digital Ocean which is a bit more expensive than others, like Hetzner, but Digital Ocean has some additional services that make life a bit easier, so I use it.
I also use Cloudflare for caching and protection, but it's free for hobbyists and small businesses.
There are some small costs for keeping snapshots. Less than a couple of dollars/month.
At Digital Ocean, a 4 vCPU, 8GB server is $48/month. Snapshots might be a couple more dollars a month. I'm currently running KBIN on a server half this size but I will be bumping it up to the $48/month option in the next few days.
Another incidental cost would be domain name registration.
I can't think of anything else you would need to pay for.
Yeah. I noticed the typo right after I uploaded the message. I quickly edited it but I find that changes made to a message take a while to replace the original.
I currently have 303 magazines, 301 pointing to several other KBIN and Lemmy instances. I visited several instances and manually linked to magazines that had a lot of users. Magazines from anywhere else can be added by using the global search (the search icon at the very top), not the search associated with the magazine listings, and using the full name, like @linux
The magazines can be seen at https://feddit.online/magazines
I believe in Lemmy, in replies (but not in the original message), including a Fediverse ID sends the reply to that address. So I hope they'll come take a look. Yes, it's officially their account.
I agree with your annoyance. Good luck!
