That's really cool. In my case, I use VPS and S3-compatible storage.
I currently use Yunohost to self-host my personal stuff, which is perfectly fine. But I don't trust it enough to start hosting for other people.
For that, I would like to upgrade to Cloudron, which is more professional, but has a cost.
Also, I'd prefer using root domain names instead of subdomains because it just looks better and professional. But again buying domain names has a higher cost.
Thanks for the tips, really appreciate it.
I already have a peertube and a quick solo flohmarkt that I built as a test.
But I don't trust my current infrastucture enough for other people to join.
To have a better infrastucture, I would need to invest a bit of money.
Not sure if it's worth the shot though lol
@midzer Guess so lol
A few weeks ago, I created this #mastodon instance fraxoweb.social
And I'd also like to create more federated instances with open registrations:
- #matrix
- #peertube
- #pixelfed
- #flohmarkt
- etc.
But I don't really like promoting/advertising my stuff, and nobody joined so far.
I'm wondering if I should actively promoting it, even if I don't like it.
In a way, nobody will join any instance, if nobody know they exist.
Or maybe I'm just wasting of time and money.
I use OVH and VPS are good and cheap.
But don't create customer support tickets. It's a waste of time.
I'm so sick of Americans saying:
- It's just the president
- It's not our fault
- Don't confuse the president with us
- etc.
I don't care, it's not my problem.
It's also the arrogant attitude they think they are invulnerable, above it all and too big to fail.
Something is fundamentally wrong with the USA.
And until they fix it, I want to boycott and limit my exposure to anything US.
Yeah, but I think it's the best options so far.
Mostly because I think it's the only one that does federation
@TimothyRoes Yeah, I think most people are still very much attached to Discord
Since the age verification thing, many people are waking up.
But hopefully, more people break out as more options become better and available.
By the end of summer 2026, I hope I'll get to delete my #facebook (#meta) account
1. Instead of using #messenger, I'll tell my friends to text me via phone #sms
2. Sell the remaining items that I'm currently selling on #marketplace
Eventually, on the long-term, I'd like to:
1. Setup a #matrix server for everybody to join and replace #discord as well.
2. Find a good replacement to Facebook Marketplace.
I wouldn't trust Meta even with E2EE
Don't get me wrong, that's a good thing.
But it's a company that actively collect all your info.
It's closed source and they still have meta data
@n_dimension
Yeah, they clearly don't respect the ICC and its decisions.
@heyla
Bienvenue dans le club lol
I'm not very familiar internationally.
I convert currencies quite often and I know that Mastercard/Visa are widely used.
Yeah, having multiple options is probably already a great start.
That way, you're not locked to one particular country.
For me, only YouTube is holding me to delete my Google account.
I don't use gmail anymore.
My android phone uses GrapheneOS.
Yeah, I'm also planning to delete my Facebook. I still use Messenger and Marketplace though.
Ideally, I wanna start hosting my own stuff.
I was given this video that was published 5 days ago.
She's doing an interview in New Zealand
Interac is very cool. It does debit cards and e-transfers in Canada.
But it doesn't do credit cards and if you want to do internationally, you usually have go though Mastercard/Visa
Yeah, but by doing that, don't you just trade an evil for another evil?
What if one day, china decides to use it against us? Just like the USA is currently doing...
@ThaDude
She's a judge in the International Criminal Court (ICC). It's related to major crimes like wars, genocides, etc.
While they share frozen bank accounts, their situations seem quite different.
