yeah good luck with that.

Wasn’t that because of age verification though?

As well as flair on posts, people can use flair on themselves in the comments, to indicate what their expertise or experience is, etc.

Check out Big Blue Button - https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/

Their website talks all about using it for teaching students but it’s really just like Jitsi with more features.

The things I paid attention to was

USB3 - you need this otherwise connecting external drives will be a joke Motherboard needs to accept up to 32 GB of RAM. Mine currently has only 8 but knowing I can upgrade is nice.
Quiet - must be silent when idle.
CPUs of less than 8th? gen will suck at video transcoding due to lacking certain capabilities. Important if running jellyfin, etc.

The beauty of self hosting is it’s all about your individual circumstances so you priorities and acceptable tradeoffs will differ.

It’s hardcore

Much better to add features to your software that make it unusable in totalitarian situations.

For example

• if you’re building a reddit clone, make each subreddit elect their moderators every few months.
• Maybe ask How fat is Kim Jon Un during installation.
• Display the text “Taiwan is not a part of China” in the status bar, randomly

…and so on. The possibilities are endless.

You’re going to have to prioritise.

Find changes that:

Save a decent amount of money Are low risk Don’t take too long to do Can be easily backed-out of

Also, turn off chat heads. Such obvious engagement bait.

“Do you regularly watch videos by Jordan Peterson?” kinda needs to become one of those before-first-date screening questions.

That was more interesting than 18 downvotes. Thanks!

It is against the Geneva Convention to use POWs for propaganda.
