      Reminds me of early days of Linux.

      You should ditch windows and switch to Linux! It has everything!

      What I can I do on it?

      You can compile your own kernel!

    I’ve been self-hosting Mastodon for a while and mostly using it to share bird photography, but also to provide comments on a static site. Since Mastodon and Lemmy both speak ActivityPub, those get crossposted to /c/flashlight so Lemmy comments are also included on my site. Federation is cool.

    I don’t follow many accounts that post Fediverse meta stuff on Mastodon. While I have some interest in the best examples of that content, the only way to attract a broader community is to promote accounts and content appealing to the interests of that broader audience.

    Image Transcription:

    A one-panel XKCD-style comic with the title “The Self-Hoster” One character is seated at a computer, talking to a second character standing behind their chair. Character one says: “It took all weekend, but now that I have a Mastodon instance running in Docker behind a reverse proxy with cloud-provided media storage, I can enjoy interacting with a federated network of other users without compromising on privacy or content moderation.” Character two replies: “Cool, what kinds of topics does your network discuss?” Character one replies: “Our experiences self-hosting Mastodon instances, mostly.”

    Meh, it’s a hobby. Lots of people talk about their hobbies.

    Still a funny comic, though.

    I hate googling things and just being lead back to reddit… Where my account was permabanned for “Report Abuse”, something literally not even discussed in their TOS

    And they’re not every clear on if I’m allowed to use an alternate account, they just said “If you go onto another account and continue this misbehavior it’ll be banned”, which sounds like I’m allowed to use an alt, but… only if it plays by the rules, but else where I’m seeing that “Ban Evasion” is against the rules, so which is it Jim Jam?

      I hate googling things and just being lead back to reddit

      This is so far my biggest problem med Lemmy and federation in general, all content is not in one place. It was nice just searching for problem x reddit and you found a solution 9/10 times (because you had everything in one place).

      Their stance is that you personally are banned for life from subs regardless of which account. Would be a real shame if your IP got changed between accounts, your cookies and local storage got cleared, and you never mentioned the old account again. You could accidentally post in a sub you got banned from, and they wouldn’t be able to helpfully re-ban you from the sub!

      If you were still trying to spend time on reddit in the first place at least.

        That’s what my “friend” did. Reddit banned every account he used on his phone at once, but with a different IP, desktop browser, and cookie isolation, they haven’t noticed so far. He might sound like some professional troll, but he was actually banned for a stupid reason.

      I genuinely think Reddit might be the worst social media site just cause of the egregious amount of echo chambering. And I’m not even talking about only one side of the political spectrum is on the site, it’s sub-dependent. If you don’t fully agree with anything in a community you run the risk of the ban hammer at the very least in the community and possibly even site-wide. Every single community (and apparently Reddit) has at least one rule that’s vague enough for them to justify removing posts/banning people they don’t like with it. And even worse, everyone on the site thinks they’re the epitome of intelligence cause they’ve been in their circlejerk forever.
