I hosted a pleroma instance for a short while and I will never do it again. Updating blacklists to block out the nazis and "free speech" was a near daily task and once I ran across a stupidly long list of child porn-hosting mastodon/pleroma instances that needed to be added to my blacklist I said gently caress it and made my instance whitelist only, defeating the entire supposed goal of the fediverse. A few months later I pulled it offline entirely because it saw gently caress all traffic and I didn't have the time or energy to moderate it, nor did I want the liability of people potentially using it to distribute disgusting things. E: shoeberto posted:- Most independently-run message boards are running off phpBB or vBulletin or some other message board software that haven't had a significant upgrade since before the iPhone came out, and there seems to be no real will to update to anything more modern, so there's just this weird slow death that seems to be happening. I think that's a case of don't fix what isn't broken. I'm active on a handful of forums that are regularly active and the format works fine for focused discussion. Social media fills a different niche and it might have wiped out some of the forums that were just chat spaces but it's really not hurting communities that have other things to focus on besides yelling about politics and pictures of the kids. corgski fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Oct 13, 2020 |

Like 100 people or so, so not a ton but enough that I didn't personally know everyone on the instance. It just wasn't worth the hassle of playing whack-a-mole and keeping up with all the new blocklists.
