I'm new to the fediverse, and so far, I have been seeing some situations from lemmy instances rejecting users to defederating from others, but I ask myself: what can be done if trolls or bots come from self-hosted single-user instances?

    The truth that is hard to swallow...

    We are techy people who enjoy the concept of the fediverse, but the general public will never use it if it doesn't become simple and straightforward.

    Although they don't profit directly from youtube, it's a strategy they take to impede competition from arising and keeping their name as the main one. It's the kind of strategy only multibillionaire companies can do, and, in my opinion, something that should be restricted, because it affects smaller businesses to the point of becoming inviable.

    Syncthing is awesome. I'm never losing data to a damaged or stolen device again, and it makes accessing data from a computer and sending data to the phone so much easier.

    But we have to keep in mind that syncthing doesn't protect by default us from accidental deletion, so it's not a 100% replacement for a backup.

    After using different distros for more than 10 years, I reached a never imagined level of not caring anymore. Nowadays, I use any of them, and it's fine. I don't even care to change the wallpaper or tweak most settings anymore.

    For the record, I'm using fedora on my main rig, mx linux on my low-end laptop, and armbian on my orange pi board.
