It’s always awesome to see the community I created mentioned in the wild!

I also created !dullsters@dullsters.net as an independent alternative.

I also mod. !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world There’s no difference between creating a community on a big instance and hosting a small one in that regard. The costs would be the exact same. I’m taking administration into my own hands and taking that load away from them, and decentralizing which benefits users. If Lemmy.World goes down or defederates from another big instance or makes up some weird rules, then my instance isn’t affected and users have continuity even if they have to make a new account elsewhere.

The way Lemmy works that media is stored on their instance, not mine. The only thing stored on mine are posts and whatever I upload. It costs $5 a month for a cloud server. I could host from home but I don’t feel like messing with it and it’s cheaper than setting up a server.

Without users the hosting cost is very low. I suppose it could go away if something happened to me I guess. The point is that it’s a community which is completely decentralized.

Feel free to visit. !dullsters@dullsters.net a completely independent and topic focused instance with no users. I created it so that the community would not disappear if an instance closed down or defederated from another big instance.

!dullsters@dullsters.net

I just launched

!flipping@lemmy.world

Which is not active yet, but I’m trying to post a little bit to get the ball rolling.

Bitwarden does all that. If you pay the subscription you get a GB of storage and delegate emergency access to other people.

Problem being that someone else asked the question 10 years ago and the answer is now irrelevant due to version changes. People with high scores are just early adopters who answered all of the easy questions. Hostile users generally can’t understand the question. The issue with llms answering your question is that they are going to be stuck in the current time period. In the future their answers will also be irrelevant due to version changes.

I found that my communities stayed on track better when I made robust rules and offered alternatives where content would be a better fit.

I wouldn’t care if I had to use multiple messanger apps. There used to be a pc program that let you login to msn, irc, and yahoo messanger all at once and manage your accounts in one place.

Well, did you turn on the tap so she could get a drink? It looks like that’s what she wants.

I have an axiety disorder, so I’m suing for discrimination.

Itt, I struck a chord? Not sure why I’m being downvoted.

It’s a community only instance. If two big instances defederate from each other, then those users can still visit the same old community. I also don’t have to follow any rules set by admin which don’t really apply to dull content in the first place. Plus I just like growing the fefiverse and the idea of decentralization.

If I subacribe or visit any communities elsewhwere then those will show on the all feed on my instance. So I just have an admin account over there.

It gives you a bit more freedom in that you can federate or defederate with whatever instance you want, you can make your own communities that are free from other instance admin descisions like fed/defed. Less risk of losing your account.

I own dullsters.net but I keep it “pure” by not using that account out here. That way any outside visitor to the site only sees dull stuff.

For me it has been very little work. We’ll see how the 1.0 update goes.
