Question for fedi users on larger instances:
What is keeping you from hosting your own smaller instance?
Over the past couple of days, I've been really thinking about different ways in which I could give back to the fediverse and one thing that I keep coming back to is that the fediverse would be a lot healthier in the long term if there were more smaller instances instead of a few bigger ones.
Smaller instances are cheaper to host, foster a closer-knit communities, and ease moderation overhead per-instance. Not to mention, a fediverse that's full of smaller instances is much more resistant to bullying by larger instances.
And to add to my original question, if you were interested in running your own instance, how could I help you do it?
Would you prefer a masto.host style model where I host/maintain your instance for you, or would you prefer a "bring your own server/domain" model where I help you get everything set up on your own infrastructure and give you documentation with ways to keep everything running and safe?
Or would you prefer a completely different approach?
I'm mostly just trying to brainstorm ideas here.

Definitely agree on the volunteering part. Volunteers are super important to ensure the health of larger servers.
Just so we're on the same page, I definitely agree that larger servers have their place in the fediverse. Like you said, they're super helpful in onboarding new users and getting them set up.
My original post was more directed towards users who have been a part of the fediverse for a while already, not exactly newcomers.
Yeah, I was just kinda talking.
I will say, it's always neat to see these projects going up, and I would definitely like to see more setups where multiple servers are sharing resources like hardware and obvious-decision moderation.

My first (booted) steps into the Fediverse. Recent events have made me increasingly concerned about the concentration of power in the hands of a few social media corporations — more so when they can turn against diversity in such a short time.
While Mastodon's decentralized approach has a bit of a learning curve, it is crucial to support and grow this alternative model. The future of social media should be open, distributed, and shaped by its participants.

Apple’s 2025 Black Unity Collection Announced Amidst An Age Of Disunity
What a planet we’ve landed on. It’s certainly a different one than a few months ago. Or is it?
Today Apple announced its 2025 Black Unity collection including a new Apple Watch Band and watch face in addition to wallpapers to honor Black History Month. This has become an annual Apple tradition and is typically met with some, but not large, fanfare given that it can be classified as an appeal to a specific segment of the market. That said, it has historically been one of Apple’s signature signals about where it’s cultural (some say woke) heart lies.
But that landscape has changed a bit with the election of the new oligarchic, nakedly racist regime in the United States, and with Tim Cook’s decision to donate $1 million dollars to the inauguration and attend that knee bending ceremony. Cook’s decisions will cast shadows on any Apple announcements going forward, certainly those that historically Apple has painted as a part of its civic and human consciousness.
Many Apple fans, I count myself among them, are asking tough questions of themselves and Apple. The questions are tough, everyone is touchy, and feelings are raw.
As an example, The MacRumors article announcing Apple’s announcement this morning illustrates just how touchy an issue is. Take a look at the footnote to their article below.
Timing is everything in life, with or without punch lines. Black History Month is always in February and for those counting the bruises on Apple, unfortunately February follows an ugly inauguration month. In order for there to be a punch line though, you first need to have a joke, and sadly, we’re not in joking territory as we muddle our way through this.

Zustimmungswerte, vielleicht zu hohe, um verboten zu werden."
a.) Bisher war sie immer zu klein, um verboten zu werden. Gibt es also nur die Möglichkeit "zu groß" oder "zu klein"? Oder wer hat da wann einfach gepennt?
b.) M.W. ist Größe kein Argument im Passus im Grundgesetz. Da steht nur was von verfassungsfeindlich.
