My dream has manifested itself in front of me and I don't know whether to love or hate it :')
So I've been informed there's been a corona case in the workplace where a close family member works (care home).
And I've had a persistent, dreadful, undiagnosed cough for over a month, with a poor prospect of hospitalisation.
Our caution can only do so much at this point.
So... will 2021 be my last? It feels plausible and near, and I don't like it.
:/

This has always been my biggest worry. Mastodon is especially notorious for not just keeping control away from the end user, but also gaslighting said user.
Instead of a message saying "Communication with this server isn't possible because of a block on this server.", it just pretends people don't exist.

@r000t @r @alex @torresjrjr Yeah, the users and the other admins. I remember the witches.live admin doing that lengthy freakout, "PLEROMA ALLOWS FASCISTS TO CONDUCT PASSIVE SURVEILLANCE" because she thought that if she blocked FSE, FSE would somehow know this and stop fetching posts. Gargulon actually argued against disclosing server blocks and kept them out for a long time (allegedly because this would "enable harassment") but it just means that nobody knows if they've been blocked, especially not the server in question.

> Ideally everyone would have their own instance, and federate as they wish.
This is the goal of cofespace.com, I want to push the ratio of users to admins as close to 1 as possible.
> Obviously there's a huge barrier and cost to that
Handshake problem, sure, but it's doable. The protocol might have to change to scale that up. (It's got to change to scale up anyway.) The problem is, as Alex noted, the P2P solutions aren't ready yet. (I've used twister.net.co, very cool but somewhat heavyweight; it's almost as involved as running Pleroma yourself. It's pretty quiet there, too: this is where the party is right now.)
I've got a project I'm hacking on intermittently that fixes the handshake problem but it'll be a minute, it's not top of the list.
> The cost per freedom goes up for massive instances
I'm not sure what this means.

Back in 1995 I sent an online friend a photo of a ferret plush "using" my computer.
And she sent me back the same thing.
Back then you had to take a photo on film, get it developed, and physically mail it. So this meant a lot more than it would now.
IT WAS SO CUTE DAMNIT.

Hackernews front page, #1 on several sub-reddits: r/selfhosted, r/golang, ... awesome stuff!
Someone even started streaming public domain movies 24/7 on their Owncast instance: https://movies.shiftpop.com/
