This is why we host our instance on a .org. Honestly another huge blow for Lemmy. It doesn’t really inspire confidence in the platform. Hopefully after enough time passes smaller instances like us and the bigger ones left will have help up a good track record to inspire confidence again.

Where I live i cant access any .ml instances so for me even the lemmy.ml is down

By no means did i mean that federated platform’s wont work, far from it. Im more considering the reputational damage of the platform. For me all the .ml instances are unresolvable. And it doesn’t look good when the “official” instance is lost. If i were an outsider considering moving to lemmy and i saw vlemmy disappear, lemmy world get hacked, and .ml loosing their domains id be pretty hesitant on making the switch. Thats where i sit for the moment. Lets all hope we can get a good track record going now.

syntax OP ,

Thanks for the legal article has very useful info

syntax OP ,

Im aware that my server may cache illegal content. However this is usually easily delt with. It can simply be removed/user banned and can be purged from the server. This can all be done from the admin settings.

I also dont see the main instances defederating us. Our server will be moderated just as any other main lemmy server would. Just setting it up so that the users from our server can intract with any other server they wish. Any content or anyone who breaks our rules will be removed/banned. Just because we have an open federation policy does not mean there will be a lack of moderation.

This could be a concern but i think it will even out in the end. Many people will naturally gravitate to am instance that suites them. I created unilem.org as an instance aimed at not defederating. Some will like that and join others will not and find a different place that suits them. Its the beauty of the fediverse. You can choose your home or even host your own.

Well its only a new instance but no problems so far.

The explanation box is more just to prevent bots, once im confident that the captcha is working as intended I’ll likely remove it

syntax OP ,

Well my vps is already paid for about 11 months in advanced now so no problems there. And im happy to keep it going if people find use in my server.

syntax OP ,

I have 32tb/month so i think ill be ok 😅

syntax OP ,

Well i dont have any non profit backing but as far as redundancy is concerned ive got that covered. But yeah i see your point and how it would affect user choice and confidence.

syntax OP ,

If i were to die today my instance would still continue. If both me and the other admin were to die at the same time then everyone is just shit outta luck at that point
