What I don't understand is why anyone would bother. The fact that there's no central authority to "verify" you seems fundamental to the whole concept of federation.

I think that sounds harsher than I mean it. If people want check mark emojis in their name ultimately I don't care. I just don't get it.

I mean... Even for the internet that's pretty silly. It kind of confirms my suspicion too that installing the software will be the easier part. Granted I'd only be running it for myself, it's not like 15k other people would get banned with me just because they share a domain.

@freemo @lucifargundam will do, thanks for your input

@freemo @lucifargundam No specific questions, just a thought I had for a new project, I'm not nearly over provisioned enough apparently lol

Interesting about the moderation, part of me is a little insulted by the implication that I need someone looking over my shoulder, but I understand there are other considerations like liability as well

Anyone have any experience or opinions on self-hosting a single user fediverse instance? I like to tinker so it sounds like it could be an interesting homelab project for a boring afternoon. It might be fun just spinning up VMs and trying out all the different projects, but I don't know what actual use I'd get out of it after that. Nerd stuff aside, having to be extra social to build up a network of follows/followers from scratch (i.e. without local or federated timelines) seems... tedious. Especially for someone who isn't naturally gregarious.

It occurs to me that people on other instances or using an app might not be able to see the quote toot, here's the original I'm referencing https://botsin.space/@todayilearned/106862755661216874

I love little tidbits like this. Francis Bellamy was also a socialist. While he was hired to help sell flags to schools, which might seem hypocritical based on his politics, he seems to have also genuinely believed the Pledge would help unite working people of the time under a single banner rather than continuing to divide us based on race or nation of origin.

@DogArtFilms@noagendasocial.com So it went over your head too? Like I previously said, if you're someone who was already constructing your reality in opposition to what you perceive as mainstream you're not who I'm talking about.

Also, to claim 63 studies say ivermectin works is misleading at best. 1 meta-analysis of 63 studies of varying quality claims there is statistical significance. Some of the sources included also used multiple treatments simultaneously, they did not test the efficacy of ivermectin by itself. To me this suggests more serious study, including more RCTs, is needed. It certainly does not suggest that proponents of the drug can claim some kind of moral or scientific victory against the 'mainstream narrative.'
