Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com here and yeah i can confirm it's from instances with open registration. Also most of them are smaller instances that aren't that well maintained and will probably feel the consequence by being blocked by other instances....

And kbin.social 🀦

I might just be really tired and feeling dense this morning, but what do you mean about kbin.social?

(edit: might not be sole) Dev/moderator doesnt want a team but has some health issues presumably, so definitely can't manage it themselves. This is just the aftermath of a couple months of that

There is a team, not a sole dev.

I'm not saying everything is roses and rainbows, but this is FUD messaging being spread openly by the mbin dev team.

Damn, I'm just repeating what ive heard but its weird the whole team isn't doing as much moderating as one'd expect

[–] Kata1yst@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah honestly no idea regarding moderation. But the codebase is maintained by a team.
