I am wanting to self host a fediverse instance. I don’t hope to make it big. Hoping for 200 users at most, and I won’t advertise it heavily so it’ll probably be a while before it gets there.

Is it a bad idea to host something like this on local hardware at home? I have a lot of local-only self hosted services, and I wouldn’t want those to be compromised.

But my biggest fear is overloading my network. I already don’t get the fastest signal in some parts of my house, and I am worried the extra traffic might put more pressure on the network.

What are your thoughts on hosting local? Should I just avoid the headache and host on public instance?

    I do. Cause I don’t believe in the current legal system and allowing people that unpunished do attrocities to deal with other people doing them does not form an ok with me. 🤷‍♂️

    You’re going to idiots that don’t solve the problem and do wirse things themselves and you are arguing to ‘me’ that I don’t want to do the same stupidity… 🤷‍♂️

    Go take a better look at your own actions, dude…

        This comment could answer your previous… 😅 You’re not even being consistent in your attacks that have no base.

        I certainly did not advocate to enable child abuse anywhere. I just advocated against going after the wrong people and outing frustrations on the ones that didn’t do it. Just like you are proving to do now with me… 🤷‍♂️

        Why are you so offensively upset on a comment that did not say what you put into it as retaliation. Literally changing my point to be able to attack me with it. 😅

        Like I said. Keep your anger for people actually doing wrong, not on the ones that merely think differently than the exact way you do.

      Also if somebody films a murder, do we punish everybody that wants to see the video? No.

      Then why are we punishing people that just watch it while not solving anything on those making them? 🤷‍♂️

      Logic is a thing people apparently give up for authority. Not me though. Someone that wants to watch CSAM is not your business, just like it isn’t if they watch murder, space stuff of baby cats… The harm there is already done and you’re taking it out on the wrong persons with help of even worse people…

      Good job…

          You shouldn’t… You should also not be on the internet with that temper against strangers with different opinions…

          You do know it’s full of those, right?

          Either way, I did not advocate for any such a thing. I’m only saying that the way to deal with a problem is by taking on the cause, not the results… Results will keep coming if the cause remains.

          Go stick your effort into getting rid of CSAM’s creation. That way there’s no more children harmed instead of you just making yourself feel better cause you attacked someone on the internet that wouldn’t hurt anyone, but you just preassumed did cause he thinks differently on the subject. I’m not even a CSAM interested person. I hate children getting hurt as much as the next guy. I just wish we worked on a solution instead of bandaids.

          And I’m just not taking part in the bandaid part. 🤷‍♂️
