Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

I love me some eggnog. So much that every Christmas I intentionally don't buy it because I'll drink it all day every day and my body doesn't need that.

I tried to warn people, the real world is harder than you think, humans are incredible for all the things they do.

Oh beans.

Fbxl social is a pretty small instance, so the key I found to having a good feed is finding interesting people and following them, and then the more you follow the more you see, and the more other people follow you. It takes some upfront work, but eventually you end up with a good feed and some good engagement when you post. We're really relying on the greater fediverse to make the instance work.

Been there, done that. Not as fun as you'd think.

It's fine. We can't hear our homes, but look at all the pretty solar panels!

"almost nobody saw it because it looked like garbage and people ended up being proven right but a few people who wanted garbage loved it"

What is problem? Sewer no longer full!

ITT: idiots propose genocide because they're idiots.

Don't worry, soaring debt just destroyed the empire last time, I'm sure it'll be fine this time.

You and you's?

Whatifalthist is really a great channel, and this video about disgust has some interesting insights. I think I finally "get" some things based on some of the information within, such as women's higher disgust levels compared to men.

"I'm too pretty to go to jail!"

Well, I mean, they're all working for organizations we know are directly working with governments to suppress speech the state doesn't like. Most people might hypothetically be a potential authoritarian, but these people actually are imminently making their living off of doing that right now.

I'm happy to tolerate them on fediverse as individuals (my Blocklist is still empty), but bringing their whole corrupt organizations with them seems like flying too close to the sun.

Don't get me wrong, in principle I agree, it's just I don't trust them. Nobody else does either which is why their ratings are collapsing across the board.

I have no use for the establishment media. They are tools of the authoritarians and where they go, liberty dies.

They should stay in the big tech ghettos they've created. They can walk on eggshells there just like they want to.

My instance is nothing like any of yours (36 users and counting, baby!), but I feel the same. The point is to be on the internet libre, not to get rich.

Lol Elon musk looks like an Elon musk quake skin

https://fediverse.express/ is a page with tools to set up an instance from one of several hosting services.

If you have hosting that only supports php and mysql, I believe friendica is more or less drop in. You upload it to your host and it'll more or less set itself up.

If you want to host using a home server, you can set up dynamic DNS to a GoDaddy hostname using the following link: https://www.instructables.com/Quick-and-Dirty-Dynamic-DNS-Using-GoDaddy/

If you're going to sell post at home, just be sure that your internet plan is robust enough. Your server is going to be constantly talking with other servers whether you are presently surfing or not.

If you'd like some more specific advice, I've gone through quite a bit of it myself so I'm willing to help however I can.
