@socdoneleft @Mithaldu @pojntfx also, i like the idea of instance-only posts the way i run my instance, which is that it's for the people who i actually know personally, mostly irl. so being able to get out a message to those people without it being a direct message or whatever is nice.

@socdoneleft @Mithaldu @pojntfx lmfaoooo, i've been bested.

anyways nah, not AWs, i use digital ocean's webhosting, though, i've considered trying to make my own serverbox to install masto on at home.

@socdoneleft @Mithaldu @pojntfx hey! i vote! i'm 25 and until this past year (which was only due to address issues) i've voted every couple years!!

but i completely agree; i want both end users and admins to have more granular control over instances.

currently i'm picking between
a. https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/
or
b. https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown

one of the main features i was looking for was the ability to make instance-only posts (something eugen strongly disagress with) but there are other things i wanted like better list management, certain threading modes and different kinds of toot-types so they can be presented differently (like, for example, articles) collapsible toots, etc

hosting instances will cost different things depending on the number of users/speed/activity of users. if you kept it small and private you could probably skirt by with getting webspace at about 20 dollars a month or so and a cheap domain name for 5-10 bucks a year.

im keeping mine pretty small but it costs me about 60 bucks a month for the way i have it set up

@Mithaldu @socdoneleft @pojntfx eugen has silly and bad ideas about how certain things on the fediverse should work, and, personally, i think he should be disregarded (i'm actively in the process of updating my instance to a fork away from the original masto source so that i have more functionality, functionality that eugen thinks shouldn't be part of masto) but, absolutely, what you've said makes perfect sense

oh shit, OL also said they might be trying to cover some hobbes soon too

@intransitivelie my goblin posts are too secret for you, traveler. hide in the inns, the shadows of the mountains are teeming with posts so goblin they would eat your entire family. be grateful you haven't seen the goblin posts i've seen.

according to this, the issue *has* been solved before by someone, but it was dropped due to "nitpicking in the comments"

a new philosophy" its just gonna be fascism isn't it

Every spoken oath comes with an unspoken demonic pact.
A summoning of demons, hoping and waiting for the oathbreaking moment.

@roundtit if you start some hobbes lemme know, i need a good excuse to read him

"The only writer of history with the gift of setting alight the sparks of hope in the past, is the one who is convinced of this: that not even the dead will be safe from the enemy, if he is victorious.
And this enemy has not ceased to be victorious."
