When in doubt, put it behind nginx

The entire app could be a snap to set up

I refuse to use snaps

I don’t even know the point is stories. Why not post… A picture or video directly?

Chinese bots resting

Then use a key you never used before to encrypt it

How is that worse? You can always prove that you are the same person by encrypting a message with the same key. There is no way for me to prove whether my Instagram account is really me

I think tipping people for posts is really cool, though. They had a doge tip bot on reddit, but it didn’t actually integrate with the network, so apparently when it shut down the owner of the bot just stole everyone’s tips

The website gives 403 when accessed from China

Reddit blocks VPNs unless you’re already logged on

So you’re saying we should use Nostr

There are non-crypto posts on Nostr

Nostr doesn’t use a blockchain

Correct, it’s decentralized. I don’t even care about my Nostr relays. I am well aware of my home server, especially when it starts returning some kind of errors

Bruh, I’ve been tracking it for years and the fediverse was dead before the Reddit exodus. Now I can have discussions about fantasy football without going on Reddit or X

I literally got some errors yesterday, something was up with it

I get downvoted in every political discussion here. But at least nobody banned me yet. On reddit they banned me from the subreddits that are supposed to represent my views!

You don’t need to convince everyone to switch. You need to convince some people go join and build the user base.

Once there are users, more people will join. Even if people are not active, if they have an account it’s easier to convince someone to add you.

Think of it as a long term goal.

You can just try zeroSSL. Either add a DNS record they give you or host the file they give you, it’s much simpler

Who said anything about linux

It really depends. I actually needed to learn a bit about networking to be able to host multiple things on nginx on the same port. Internally they run on different ports, but they can get routed by the host name
