i like shitjustworks because the admins like to not interfere much with what the users do unless absolutely necessary and it has generally good vibes. TheDude who hosts the instance runs it on insanely overspecced hardware as well, so the interface is very responsive, the performance is excellent and the uptime is enterprise level.
if i were to name a linux distro with a similar vibe it would be debian, whereas LW is ubuntu and blahaj is the btw distribution
the ideology of blahajzone isn't one I 100% agree with but it's honestly imo the best suited for 196, given that on The Other Website 196 is a fork of 195 that grew to be specifically queer/trans focused. People had other choices like 197, but they specifically chose 196, and I think there's a point to make in that.
as for the Lemmy.World choice, I really don't get it and probably will not migrate there, and really don't like that you guys are feeding the centralisation and concentration of power when there are so many wonderful instances out there. I like shitjustworks myself because it feels very non-interfery and open, but there's so many other options too.
this whole thing honestly feels disheartening given how 'default' the choice of lemmy.world feels, like you all put no thought into the decision before making it.
please just remember that we understand that you all are human and will accept apologies if you think they are necessary
It would work but I personally don't think hosting a personal instance for the fediverse is that practical/safe given how dumb and harsh laws can be, when you don't have an army of lawyers/strong public support
yeah, looking at the federation systems it supports is insane and I really want to try it out honestly
from Wikipedia:
Friendica users can connect with others via their own Friendica server, but may also fully integrate contacts from other platforms including Diaspora, Pump.io, GNU social, email, Discourse[9] and more recently ActivityPub (including Mastodon, Pleroma and Pixelfed) and Bluesky[10][11] into their 'newsfeed'. In addition to these two way connections, users can also use Friendica as a publishing platform to post content to WordPress, Tumblr, Insanejournal[12] and Libertree. Posting to Google+ was also supported until that service was shut down. In addition, RSS feeds can be ingested.[13] Because users are distributed across many servers, their "addresses" consist of a username, the "@" symbol, and the domain name of the Friendica instance in the same manner email addresses are formed. Twitter support was available but was deprecated due to API changes under Elon Musk's leadership rendering it unusable.
