How is the name pronounced? All-ovah like all over? Uh lova, like Chicago for a lover? Sounds like the name of a prescription drug.

As a cybersecurity pro who primarily deals with email security right now (in the sense that there is basically none)

Just wanted to say thanks for telling me this! Solved my issue and I wouldn't have thought of it straight away at all.

The exposure is still greater than the zero that currently exists. If only 1% see the stuff from the smaller instances and figure out what's up, they'll jump. That's better than the current near 0. There's not really a scenario where it reduces the activity here any further, only improves it.

EXACTLY! It only benefits us because it hugely increases the exposure of the fediverse to the outside world so people who ARE interested can merely jump over. It makes the fediverse more interesting for people like me who can "live" here and access the content I want.

Glad you said this. People demanding large instances like this one defederate from stuff they don't personally like are, frankly, very mislead and trying to be little dictators. That's not their decision to make.

It will still sell by the millions :(

What are the potential downsides to this? In other words, why isn't it like this stock?

This is what I did with Hades and MCC

I've done a few really great ones. I got the UBolt Pro for a fancy lock I can track who accesses, auto lock, unlock remotely if needed, etc. It's very handy for visitors because I assign their access code as the last 4 digits of their phone number so they never forget. I got Zigbee smart bulbs everywhere, but if I were to do it again, I would do smart switches in any places I didn't need dimming or individual bulb control. Here's another great idea: FANS. Ceiling fans, desk fans, whatever. You can connect good Vornado desk fans to a smart switch so you can get cooling on demand without getting out of bed. Lastly, an Aquasana under sink water filter. Only filter I know of that removes PFAS and PFOAs and is third party certified to do so. Good delicious safe water.
