while there’s plenty of people on my list too I’d say the majority are just foreign language communities.
Blocking shit you don’t want to interact with is significantly easier than finding stuff you do, and makes the internet a much nicer place.
How long have you been here? a day without a block is a day I probably wasn’t online for long.
I don’t disagree but not everyone is studying for their CCNA.
A pre-built NAS is easy to set up and just works. and if it has docker support it can be just as hands on as building from the ground up.
neat, is it worth it over TrueNAS though?
and the major cost of a NAS is the HDDs so I doubt you could save all that much.
it can run everything you want that’s why I’d suggest it first.
Unless you want to train for a job in networking you don’t need to go all out on a home lab. it can be as hard or easy as you want it to be.
I would probably suggest just getting a Synology NAS or similar because it’s plug and play.
I don’t write you a separate kind of email because you’re on Gmail, right?
Dude gets it.
I also think the term Fediverse is to esoteric and Social web is perfect for the masses.
The current audience for Lemmy/Fediverse is a niche group.
A niche group who is here because capital destroyed other platforms we loved.
I don’t think my statement is untrue but I also don’t think it will remain true for much longer for exactly the reasons you put forward.

do you think any of that could happen if it was beholden to capital?
"…and does not depend on venture capital to survive,” wrote Rochko, subtly jabbing at one of Bluesky’s potential weaknesses with that last bit.
it wasn’t a subtle jab, it’s the primary reason everything else has gone to shit. it is the MAIN selling point of the fediverse.
it can be chaotic without being upsetting
