@BeAware I'd love to run my own instance, but I don't do linux yet, and honestly I don't have the energy to deal with moderation and all that comes with it, even for a single account instance.
So long as users have the ability to launch their own instances, regardless what the big wig fuckers say or do on their lofty pirches, which is the majority of the point of federation to begin with, I'm a supporter of Fedi.
So if he wants to run his name and the branding into the ground and be one of those dumbasses, let him. Fedi exists now and it's not going anywhere at this point.
Still, moderation tools are very important, as I learned the other day. lol
