Before the update, they where in this menu, but the menu was a simple vertical one and these options where at the bottom.

Your choice was not exaggerated, but plain wrong. Trump is censoring universities right now in the so called democratic first world.

“Let’s put the back, forward, reload and share buttons so distant from the open menu button that it needs to move your hand.”

Ghost is a CMS. It spits HTML.

Ghost is a powerful app for professional publishers to create, share, and grow a business around their content. It comes with modern tools to build a website, publish content, send newsletters & offer paid subscriptions to members.

For me, this first paragraph from the site says clearly that they are a tool to build sites and sell content.

It’s not serverless, of course. Each peer is a server and the peer that created the “sub” have control to be able to moderate things. You have to maintain your peer always online, because it’s a server. Traffic happens over IPFS, which is sloooooow.

ActivityPub is not perfect, but this is just a channer wanting some freeze prach space he can control.

I have seen the current US sitiatuation be described many times as a unstoppable force (Trump) going against every law and institution, but they are characterized as unmovable, because they refuse to exert resistance to Trump advances.

This is soo politically charged that can’t be seen as political anymore.

Not federated

Writefreely is alive. Plume not.

If you don’t have strong privacy concerns, you can use the free tier vps from oracle cloud or Google cloud. They are small, but are more than enough for this load.

Reading the white paper you find the “serverless” has servers. Each community needs to be always online to serve captchas to posters. The system is federated on community level, instead of instance level, and uses DHT instead of DNS.

Some people report less server load with Piefed.

Contextual ads can be privacy preserving. As in Netflix ads in a entertainment page. The problem is targeting the ad on people, and not on content.

Brazillian here. Out biggest Mastodon instance (ursal.zone) is locally hosted, but is behind Cloudflare and appears as US in this list. Most of Brazilian instances are foreign hosted because of cost. This table means nothing in terms of fediverse penetration on Brazil. We have a huge population, and even as most of Brazilian are monolingual, the minority of bilinguals are millions that can read English. Even monolinguals are doing just fine using Brazilian instances, even if foreign hosted.
