Meh, it’s a hobby. Lots of people talk about their hobbies.
Still a funny comic, though.
I feel seen.
Privacy compromised!
I was on Lemmy for a month before I realized this was a community about hosting servers, and not the Lemmy equivalent of a self.post from Reddit. 🤦♂️
Accurate. We care about privacy and quality. A rare breed.
It’s always fun when my Nextcloud server crashes and I lose calendar sync
Or when I use my server through a VPN and fail2ban bans me
LMAO. So, so true and I have no problem with it. Self-hosted seems to be one of the most active communities on Lemmy. I learn a lot and y’all all seem cool.
Image Transcription:
A one-panel XKCD-style comic with the title “The Self-Hoster” One character is seated at a computer, talking to a second character standing behind their chair. Character one says: “It took all weekend, but now that I have a Mastodon instance running in Docker behind a reverse proxy with cloud-provided media storage, I can enjoy interacting with a federated network of other users without compromising on privacy or content moderation.” Character two replies: “Cool, what kinds of topics does your network discuss?” Character one replies: “Our experiences self-hosting Mastodon instances, mostly.”

The only mistake I see is attributing the work to XKCD.
Hm, I guess I assumed based on the style. It’s an edit? I’m not really sure what to call it then. I’ve edited my post but if you have any suggestions please let me know.
It’s an original work in the style of XKCD
The image is a cropped xkcd with the text replaced but the same joke.
Maybe let’s not suggest that all self-hosting is just container-bros and related struggles?
Wow, gate keeping self hosting. I guess there’s one in every community.
…… am i a container bro?
Hey why the personal attack.
Collateral damage can’t always be avoided.
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:
Fewer Letters More Letters IP Internet Protocol NAT Network Address Translation VPN Virtual Private Network VPS Virtual Private Server (opposed to shared hosting)
4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 4 acronyms.

I’m in this picture and it’s making me feel uncomfortable
Hope that’s mostly a joke.
Me too
its not.
Of course it’s a joke. We also host other things not just Mastodon. 🙄
Hey… wanna start a lemmy instance?
Sorry there’s a Mastodon subreddit? If it’s purpose isn’t nearly exclusively to redirect people to Mastodon then what are we doin lol
I’m enjoying my weekend, how about you?
I hate googling things and just being lead back to reddit… Where my account was permabanned for “Report Abuse”, something literally not even discussed in their TOS
And they’re not every clear on if I’m allowed to use an alternate account, they just said “If you go onto another account and continue this misbehavior it’ll be banned”, which sounds like I’m allowed to use an alt, but… only if it plays by the rules, but else where I’m seeing that “Ban Evasion” is against the rules, so which is it Jim Jam?
Their stance is that you personally are banned for life from subs regardless of which account. Would be a real shame if your IP got changed between accounts, your cookies and local storage got cleared, and you never mentioned the old account again. You could accidentally post in a sub you got banned from, and they wouldn’t be able to helpfully re-ban you from the sub!
If you were still trying to spend time on reddit in the first place at least.
huh
That’s what my “friend” did. Reddit banned every account he used on his phone at once, but with a different IP, desktop browser, and cookie isolation, they haven’t noticed so far. He might sound like some professional troll, but he was actually banned for a stupid reason.
I hate googling things and just being lead back to reddit
This is so far my biggest problem med Lemmy and federation in general, all content is not in one place. It was nice just searching for problem x reddit and you found a solution 9/10 times (because you had everything in one place).
That and the Specific Fandoms aren’t here, no FNAF, no Sonic, no Taco Bill, no Mudkips, nothing
Make them
I genuinely think Reddit might be the worst social media site just cause of the egregious amount of echo chambering. And I’m not even talking about only one side of the political spectrum is on the site, it’s sub-dependent. If you don’t fully agree with anything in a community you run the risk of the ban hammer at the very least in the community and possibly even site-wide. Every single community (and apparently Reddit) has at least one rule that’s vague enough for them to justify removing posts/banning people they don’t like with it. And even worse, everyone on the site thinks they’re the epitome of intelligence cause they’ve been in their circlejerk forever.
tbf I feel like lemmy also has a lot of echo chambering, it’s literally 70% tech nerds and nearly everyone is atheist
The kind of people who mistake their own ass for an air freshener.
