Of course. I’m sure we’ll see more of abandoned instances. Of course it could also be the admin doesn’t care either.

That is another one that I will block. Thank you.

Thank you. I will look into it.

Don’t want to deal with possible issues related to the cached images being stored on the server.

I admin a small instance as well and I have only blocked lemmynsfw.com at this point. I like to keep the server open to all unless a rule is broken on my server. This means even if I don’t agree with what is be said, again, as long as it is within the rules of the site.

It baffles me as to why you would go through the trouble of creating an instance and just leave it to rot with no oversight.

I’ve defederated from lemmynsfw.com because someone subscribed to them and I saw the pornography on my instance and that is against one of the site rules. The same would be said for any other pornography or breaking of site rules no matter where it came from. At this point though, hexabear have not harassed anybody on my instance or broken any of the site rules, so there is no basis to defederate them. If that does happen, then a decision will be made.

As an instance owner myself some of this is concerning. I understand why lemmy.world would want to defederate from them. I won’t defederate on my instance at this point, but if personal attacks start to happen or rules get broken, then it will be considered.

Sounds nifty as long as it works as intended.

No and no.

I’m over 40 and nobody cares.

In the month I’ve been running my server, I have accumulated about 8GB of data. I’ve subscribed to about 30 communities or so, but my server only has be actively using it.

I created mine because I am a systems engineer by trade and I moved on from Reddit. Nobody else has used my instance except for me, but I think it’s worth it. I like being in control of my own account and can be assured my instance wont impose rules that i dont agree with or worse, just disappear. If other people find it useful, then that’s even better.
