Why open a port when you can do tailscale/vpn or tunnel.

Nah, don’t give that much credit to a loud minority.

Are you a child? Who has discussions like this??

I mean, unrealistic to get anything close to all active users donating. Nobody should be expecting to setup an instance an expect tens of thousands of dollars a month.

As an indie dev back in the day, it’s a fraction of uses are willing to fork anything at all.

If anything, if you’re a whale, go big on your individual donation if you want a large impact.

Either way, you shouldn’t need that much money to cover server costs for a mere 16,000 users.

That would make it unusable for single user instances…

In the 30s range at least in my experience.

Not most I know lol

Feel free to recommend some!

I joined it but the main feed was just a lot of NSFW content… So made it kind of awkward for discovery.

Been doing it for years without said issues, so can’t help you there. But not being technical enough is super valid.

Oh, I meant Adguard Home, in it you can configure whatever upstream you want. Basically another alternative to Pi-Hole. And router level, I meant configuring the DNS there, so all devices default to it. Not a VPN per say.

What’s haiku?

PiHole or AdGuard Home as DNS at router level and boom, wider net and smaller attack surface.

Well, if bluesky official site goes down, it all goes down.

Only account data can be self hosted but at the end, it all centers around one server to make the full magic happen.

I mean, we gotta draw the line somewhere. Seems reasonable to not want official community discussions to happen in a proprietary platform. We got where we are with the internet because of complacency.

It makes the former possible but you still meed to keep up on privacy hygiene. Check out privacyguides.org to help you with that. Privacy is a spectrum, so the trick is finding where you want to be and assesing what you have to sacrifice to do so.

It’s crazy the peace of mind you get from it.

Seems wasteful

Shows their priorities by not choosing an open platform.

For sure a lot of advantages to not having all your eggs in one basket.
