Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Someone is trying really hard to hurt Lemmy by continually attacking the most popular instance. Is this all coming from right-wingers upset that their nazi instances were defederated across basically the whole fediverse?
I wouldn't put it past the hexbear crazies throwing a tantrum. They claim to be left wing... Sure seem more like fascist trumper types though. Maybe it's just that they're all incels and incels all seem about the same.
Throwing a tantrum about what exactly? They're one of the oldest-running Lemmy instances. Until now they were running a fork based on a pre-Federation version of the codebase.
You believe they did a bunch of work migrating their database only to then negate that work by destroying the community they wanted to Federate with?
Well something to keep in mind is that hexbear isn't one person ... it's a whole community that's developed independently for a while. So it's reasonable to expect that there'd be variation in the behaviours of members in the same way there's variation on the rest of lemmy. From what I've gathered, not all hexbear members are keen on the re-federation, and some aren't too keen on being "well-behaved" around politically opposed users (ie "libs"), though hexbear admins and other users have promised moderation and that such isn't part of the core hexbear values.
It's social media, afterall ... and people can be rather shit and ruin it for the rest of us. In the end, the core service provided a social media platform isn't the hardware, sys-admin-work or software (however necessary they are) ... it's the moderation work.
The moderation keeps the place sanitary enough for people to actually want to be here ... however much we may have problems with particular actions of our moderators, we should really support and praise them at every turn.
At least a handful of users on hexbear had made their intention clear during the first week of re-federation, they were looking to cause chaos on Lemmy for there own pleasure. I don't know if they were banned and/or their comments deleted.
Big difference between a few users who did a bunch of work and the toxic goonsquad the majority of the userbase turned into.
