I showed my 7 year old. She was very amused and still does not believe there are any dolphins.

That’s what xmpp is. It was embraced by Google and Facebook and killed.

I have two currently. I love painting miniatures, I work from home and will do it during my working day when I need a break.

My other fixation is a friend of mine who came back into my life recently. She’s amazing and knows what’s happening. I have a partner who is also amazing and understanding.

I have a home server and a laptop. Both run different versions of Ubuntu

Mine is large enough to be a capybara.

Best is so subjective.

I am running pivpn, pihole, all the arrs, jellyfin, gitea and rundeck.

I’m not understanding your concern. If there’s a powertripping moderator that’s causing trouble there are options. The group can split and migrate elsewhere, just like the reddit migrants have who came here.

The fediverse is much harder to consolidate tightly. There are 5 New Zealand communities for example spread across the fediverse currently. One is large and the rest are tiny. If the mod/admin for the large one started being a dick the users would move elsewhere after a lot of whining. This was not as easy on reddit because there could only be one /r/newzealand. Currently there is newzealand@lemmy.nz, newzealand@lemmy.ml, newzealand@feddit.nz, nz@kbin.social, New Zealand@kbin.social.

If there was a powertripping moderator on a large group like technology@beehaw.org the site admins can remove that mod if it was causing trouble for the overall site.

What’s the problem with this?

If they can moderate that many groups to the standard each community is happy with is it an issue?

I use rundeck to do this.

Lemmy is opensource, you can see and get a copy of the source code here. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy There’s no development cost because all developers are volunteers at this stage.

For each instance that depends on the admins running that individual instance. The instance I use is being sponsored by a NZ company that are providing the admin’s a free virtual server to host on.

I use kubuntu for work. At home I have a mix of centos 7 and ubtunu server.
