Ah fuck well you just determined the course of my weekend with this comment

Unrelated but I’m very impressed with how well this posted to Lemmy from Mastodon. Exceptional

I have a racknerd KVM VPS running a socks5 proxy and a mastodon instance. It’s been great!

On lemmy, you could literally just start the same community on another server. If other people agree with you about space, the new community will become the “default” one. don’t really think anybody even has the ability to become “too powerful” because they are neutered the instant the base url changes.

I used this: https://redact.dev/

I checked earlier today and, at a cursory doomscroll, everything appears to remain deleted so far

It surprises me too on some level because it does seem very obvious.

I’ve also learned on multiple occasions over the years that I value different things and I value them much more strongly than a large swath of the selfhosting community. That may speak to whether or not people selfhost for ideological, practical, or other reasons that I am unaware of but, at the end of the day, I find myself disappointed that the version of the selfhosting community that I imagined and thought I was on the same page with is simply not the selfhosting community that exists.

Lol I used a script to overwrite my 13 years of fairly active redditing with a join-lemmy.org link

Not that I’m aware of. I set it up very very early in my self-hosting journey and have just continued using it ever since

Vim wouldn’t even have occurred to me if you hadn’t said it. I use Vim more than I talk to my family.

There are literally multiple of us! We cannot be stopped!

I clicked on some of the tags and got to binary downloads but yeah, I’ve never dealt with releases or compiled binaries via git myself so I have no idea how to make that better at this point

Good call. I’ll try and do that but I am easily distracted so may end up disappointing you

Edit: Should be good now

I do what I can when I can

I cloned the repo into my gittea https://git.toad.city/brad/DeGourou

I went ahead and just cloned it to my personal Gittea and made it public

“It is what it is”

No shit, fucknugget. My problem was probably that what it is sucks ass. This isn’t even a sentence. Stop saying it to people. Silence is more useful.
