Hello, I want to self host an instance so I’m only beholden to myself and the military forces that watch all. I only have one rule, and don’t care much for moat things, but I’d like to create safe and friendly place for people like me

    Let’s also add

    • you need to have 24/7 moderation capabilities to filter all the child porn that trolls will immediately try to spread onto your instance

      That is actually somewhat less of an issue now that bans and content removal are federating. Kbin is the easiest to abuse at the moment, but, luckily, there aren’t many instances of it.

        “Less” is still not “gone” unfortunately. You do still have to be very vigilant because federation from unknown instances intentionally spreading that stuff can and will end up getting garbage on to your server’s hard drive that you might not even notice.
