What once was here was a shabbily-hosted Pleroma instance for one user and one user only.
It did what it had to do phenomenally well; that is, be an instance with no requirements or mindset required, other than functionality.
Besides some roadblocks on the way (cough, envs fediblock, cough cough), it has been an ultimately fun experiment of sorts.
I will always remember the motivation that caused me to bring this instance to life is none other than an incompetent Fediverse instance
that didn't know what it was doing, that its owners advertised on Twitter, that ultimately attracted a far too young audience
and that didn't know what federation was. That was probs one of the very few times where I've actually taken coffee.
But that's all just pettiness, my apologies.
Self-hosting a chunk of a decentralized network
(where there aren't and should never be dogmatic presences that can reach their fucking arm through a pierced sky to hold ANYONE, right or wrong, down;
it's not like the reason we're here anyways is because we're sick of what Twitter was doing or anything)
from a home ISP is entirely feasible, as I learned; as I also learned, it takes up bandwidth. Don't subscribe to relays. I learned that the hard way.
Beyond that, it seems hosting the small instance this was also took up too much bandwidth for our ISP's liking. Fuck them and all, but anyway.
That's basically why I have to tone all this down.
