Another manbaby in my emails throwing his toys out of the pram and accusing me and .art of this and that and threatening to 'let everyone know what we're really like'.
My dude, if you'd stopped after your first paragraph of asking what you'd done that was antisemitic and explaining that it was unlikely, I might have gotten back to you, but your behaviour in the rest of the email was obnoxious and entitled enough that you're going to stay suspended.
Hello, Monday.

Is there interest in starting up a new server? I am incentivized to provide something for this niche (or perhaps not-so-niche) part of the fediverse.
It would be a forum. Running NodeBB. Not Mastodon.

Is that just me or do 99% of all spam accounts use Gmail addresses to sign up? #fediadmin #mastoadmin

Errata for the new year:
"Can we trust your reports for our instance?"
Well. Maybe.
So, we do check each report for rules violations. We don't just trust other instances' reports. So IF your instance is similar to ours and IF you trust our checks then yes, probs.
Rules:

"You banned me / my instance and I want to argue my case!"
Okie. You can do that. But we reserve the right to post the interactions (minus doxy stuff) publicly.

Given #PieFed (alternative to Lemmy / Mbin) gained some popularity among #Fediverse #FediAdmin's, it should be mentioned the dev apparently has some very strong opinions they enforce by hardcoding a blacklist of community names such as "memes" and "greentext", preventing federation.
https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/admin/routes.py#L373
The code calls them "low effort communities". Twice, because huge blocks of code are duplicated. It's a very opinionated spaghetti.
Do not recommend.

Holy shit the amount of child social media laws coming out left and right is crazy. I'm working on it but damn, for a hobby it's a mess.
For The Kids I suppose, I remember back when I was a kid with no gps, no phone, hell not even a bandaid when I fell just wiped it off with my nasty ass hands and went along playing in the wilds of the world until I heard "BRRRRRRYYYYYYSOONNNNNNN" or someone yelling "DINNER!" And going home. Sundown hit and you knew it was time to get that ass home before you got in trouble.
Now you have hoops to jump through left and right out here to "comply" with a simply hobby site "technically" if I don't want to tempt fate.

搭建fedi站点低成本选择
服务器：
VPS
leaseweb的VPS 4核6G内穿100G固态硬盘 价格在3-5$，因为不接受个人用户，所以只能从分销来买
seedbox
比较大些的站点可以买seedbox这类物理服务器，因为都是用了N年的硬件，所以在比较高的配置下价格也相当便宜，8核16G内存几T机械硬盘到几十核几十G内存几十T机械硬盘都有几十$内的价格，就是要做好备份机制，想要提供还不错的可用性就要做不止一台的冗余了
服务器上成本最高的大概要算存储了，本站用户和外部站点缓存的图片视频很容易日积月累下来占用相当高的硬盘空间，不定期删除缓存的站外媒体资源就只会越来越大，毕竟一个用户连续10年发的文本内容，可能还没有几张大点的图片或一个视频占用空间大
站点程序选择
一些轻量级的，资源消耗低的服务端实现，比如gotosocial之类的，但和大多数站点使用的mastodon相比功能上也会有不兼容的地方
一些没法低成本的地方：
服务器的运维
就像家务一样耗费心神，服务器系统的监控，故障处理恢复，程序漏洞打补丁版本升级等等，是永远不会有结束的工作，也是没有严格下班时间的区分
站点运营管理
站点要管理spam，处理站内外的举报投诉，维护社区氛围，天然就是一个或几个管理者对所有成员，越大的站点要应对的就越多，所以也会遇到类似面对“秋天的第一杯奶茶”的店员处理已经打印了十几米的小票那样的爆单，相比简单的经济问题，这些才是成本最高难以量化的地方

Question for the #MastoAdmin out there, what are you doing to trim down your database size?
While I know 270GB isn't that big for a database, I was hoping to get the size down a bit to look into an affordable managed PostgreSQL service.
Any guidance/advice is appreciated. 🙂

Mal eine Frage an die Mastodon Instanzbetreiber. Was habt Ihr so als Serverausstattung und wie viele Nutzer habt Ihr so im Schnitt auf euren Instanzen?
