Discussion Ethically Online

Slowly trying to leave bsky to go back to Mastodon as well. Fuck those transphobes.

Yeah was actually thinking about deleting my bluesky. While I do still have hope for it in terms of tech and potential to be not bound to the shits that run it now. Sadly also seems most of game dev people are still going to be there no matter what, and even worse alot are still on x. Mastodon seems to be have a bit of a reputation. That said Mastodon is the best! Even made my own blog engine compatible with mastodon.

Those of you who do self-hosting, how and what do you use? I was mostly looking into trying self-hosting like mastodon, so that would have to be an online hosting thingie. I see Yuno host being mentioned, but don't think my web hosting has support for that, I do have support for installing thing like a python app and so on but seems self-hosting stuff seem more dependent on running and having control over a virtual machine right?

that's right, yeah

and i just use docker for everything

So where do you rent it from? Does it cost alot?

i don't i run it on my pc, haha, so i only really have to pay for the domain

But do you host any online stuff on it? I could use my Mac mini to host stuff, but for like mastodon I probably want something that is fully online. Also you are not worried about having a direct pipe into your private network? I guess its not much worse than torrenting stuff

well i'm using nginx proxy manager for protection from a lot of exploits, so it's not a completely direct access, plus - i have it on my old pc, so there's only the hosted stuff on there, nothing else

but yes, i do host online stuff on it

I run some services from my home server. Currently I’m putting them all behind Cloudflare Tunnels with single sign on for authentication, but I’m looking to move a few of them behind my own reverse proxy so I can bypass file size and data transfer limits imposed by Cloudflare. Also privacy.

Mastodon Migration (@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online)

Attached: 1 image Bluesky - A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing Learned today around May/June 2024, #Bluesky quietly switched the default to their algorithmic 'Discover' feed. Now new users are fed posts determined by the owners, just like Instagram, TicTok and X. Why this matters is the vast majority...

Switched from Safari to Vivaldi on my MacBook Pro, and I’m very pleased with the experience so far.

It’s snappy, the UI is excellent and there’s none of that Liquid Glass shite on it.

Will be making the switch across all my devices soon!

you should check out their mastodon instance too then! it's already docked in the sidebar anyway, so you might as well

I like the idea of Mastodon, and it'd be my choice Twitter alternative, but I'm trying to not use any social media sites.

They just make me sad.

Started using Vivaldi on my linux and it's pretty nice! Might need to install it on my apple stuff too so it all can be nicely synched!

I really should try it since Vivaldi is made in Norway
