How resilient to network splits lemmy/mastodon are in practice?
Federation is eventually consistent, but when we're talking practical terms, how long is too long for a node to be offline?
I suffered a bit of a data loss and while I was able to recover my mastodon instance within 2 days, lemmy took me a week and I don't see anyone spamming the inboxes again.
Should I expect that other servers effectively defederated me and should I resubscribe to my communities or I should give it a few days?

Fediverse blogging?

- Writefreely is the established option.
- Wordpress has activitypub plugin.
- Mastodon (or the like) is probably good enough.
- Wafrn is tumblr like blogging.
- Openwrite is the new kid in the block similiar to Writefreely.

Delusions of a Protocol
So, if you're online poisoned like me, you may have noticed that Bluesky CEO Jay Graber has been having sort of a slow motion, low-key public meltdown for the past several weeks. Most recently, in this interaction with a user.
[…]
Even with practical technical decentralization, the vast majority of Bluesky users are on, well, Bluesky. Bluesky was never really packaged as something that was relatively easy for someone to spin up on their own servers; the network has been historically extremely centralized, and only small minorities of users have broken off.AT Proto decentralization doesn't exist as a practical reality, and if it ever does it won't be for years. Most of the work driving effective decentralization is being done by third parties, who have limited guarantees about future compatibility with possible breaking changes on Bluesky's end.
Bluesky inc isn't really making 'a protocol', they're making Bluesky, the monolithic (to within a rounding error) social network that they operate.
I do genuinely believe that the Bluesky team set off from the start to create a decentralized protocol, but unfortunately for them they ended up running a social network. And at this point, AT Proto has become essentially a sort of ideological vaporware; a way for Jay Graber et al to run a social media platform while claiming they don't run a social media platform.
This is, of course, just another iteration of the Silicon Valley monoproduct: power without accountability. The tech industry elite are very much like Gilded Age railroad barons – buying up whole towns, breaking up strikes, imposing top-down economic policy on whole sectors – except all the while they claim that they are just technology enthusiasts playing with their little trains.

This does raise a question relevant to the Fediverse. Some Bluesky users are lobbying to have Jesse Singal banned, whoever that is. Of course, a hallmark of a decentralized network is that there is no central authority that could actually do that. Implicitly, this demand is a rejection of the very concept of decentralization.
Once people find out what decentralization means, are they even willing to tolerate it?

What, you can absolutely ban people on a decentralised network. You may not be able to expunge someone from a part of the network they control themselves, but you can expunge them from the part you control. Bluesky has this power and has used it in the past.

Yes, but that doesn't seem sufficient for some. Conservatives certainly would like to remove trans people from the public completely. Aside: It's foolish for trans people to copy these tactics, assuming this comes organically from the trans community. These people are certainly acting like the heels in some right-wing propaganda play.
Bluesky offers several ways in which users can remove unwanted content from their experience. Easiest is for users to block Singal; banning him from their personal part of the network. Blocklists can be shared easily. Users can also spin up their own moderation service.
I probably shouldn't go into the details of what Bluesky can do on a technical level. Incidentally, that blog post contains errors.
In short: On a technical level, the Bluesky company can greatly reduce the visibility of someone. But they would likely run into legal problems if they used that on Singal. The EU regulates what can be done quite strictly. Maybe they could benefit from some industry friendly "loopholes". I'd have to look that up.

Bluesky is a platform for scammers and morons.
If you're not the one scamming, that only leaves one other option.

What's the factor when you're planning to self-hosted a instance?
I am interested of self-hosting my own instance but one the issue I have is:
- Price for renting server and buying domain name. Mainly, I have low income.
- Unsure if it be single-user instance or if I want multiple people on my instance.
- If my instance is for multiple users, if I be the best fit for moderation as well, pitching it to non Fedizen (whatever you call people that use the Fediverse) as well as the theme of the instance as it would effect my Fedi software of choice (eg. Friendica, Mastodon/Glitch)
I just worried that I try just do it immediately without planning things out or have whatever things in mind which might otherwise help me know what's the best choice and not be upset that I wasted my time and money on something that didn't work out for me.

The thing is, costs grow if your instance gets users. More cpu and disk space needed with time. Domain name renewal costs are known to always cost more every time. I wouldnt do it if I had low income.
If you use s3, it can also become quite expensive. Amazon is known for a lot of hidden costs that will surprise you.

ИПшники уже затянули вой про отмену патентов.
Поражает, как они одним ухом встраиваются в хор, а другим - друг дружку успокаивают, что "пока не приняли".
При этом, в новостях говорят, что бюджет страны сверстан с расчетом на повышение налога.
Но в соцсетях - полная, наухй, тишина, если у тебя нет друга-ИПшника, то ты даже не услышышь о проблеме. Будешь читать сводки о том, сколько нерусских русских обидело и чего там очередной раз Рамзан Ахматыч сказать изволили.
