 @wiredfire @jashan @esdin i'm pointing out that this type of stuff is not acceptable to a mainstream audience and will harm adoption, not complaining about my experiences here for the sake of it  @eniko @jashan @esdin that’s ok as well, but I also suggest there’s a reasonable expectation for new users to understand that there’s a small learning curve - a small price for the benefits of a non-corporate owned decentralised system IMO. But others may disagree, that’s also ok. There’s plenty of platforms, we can adopt the ones we feel are right for each of us 😊  @jesuisatire @eniko @jashan @esdin I’d say so, to some degree @wiredfire @eniko @jashan @esdin living in this thought space for a decade now, there is one thing I know for sure: once mainstreams starts to think they can make money out of this, they will code your needs faster than you can see. so .. @wiredfire @eniko @jashan @esdin setting up my own single user instance with #YunoHost was surprisingly easy. Heck you get a 1GB ram vps for 2€ a month add a domain for 5€ per year and you have yourself a place with full control. Might as well add your love interests and friends to it if you feel comfortable with some moderation.
@eniko @jashan @wiredfire @esdin you might go to wall street to ask for money so we can invest in infrastructure? |
@eniko @jashan @esdin not great but remember these are non-commercial servers. They’re run largely by volunteers, or by a non-profit organisation, funded entirely by donations.
The solution when big servers are under heavy load is patience. They’ll come back up & get fast again & you can encourage folk to spread themselves across more servers which helps everyone share the load.
