macroblogging social media site, mastodon.eskimo.com a federated microblogging site, and yacy.eskimo.com an uncensored federated search engine. All Free!
@Theaitetos (テアイテトス) I'm not sure which post was that, but looks like censorship on Diaspora is as bad as on mainstream social media. But I'm not really surprised since most FOSS enthusiasts are left-wing commies.
@John Doe I don't have control over the entire universe, just my corner of it. I am happy to say I am seeing the user base and traffic on my nodes increase rapidly so obviously there is demand for free speech platforms. I am also seeing more and more deep state shills and I can't say I didn't expect that, what they can't control they're going to do their best to pollute.
@Robert Dinse You are absolutely right, but people like you who offer a free speech option based on the laws of your country are rare on the Fediverse. However, I'm glad to see a growing number of free speech instances and and conservatives coming over to the Fediverse. Looks like most free speech instances are running on Pleroma for some reason.
@John Doe That's one I haven't looked at yet. I did friendica first because I wanted a platform that supported long posts because often these topics are complex and platforms that limit post size tend to result in emotional battles more than in depth examination of topics.
Then I also wanted forums and while supported under friendica, not easily, so I decided to try hubzilla, and I'm finding not easy on that platform as well, so no doubt I will be exploring others as well.
@Robert Dinse Pleroma is like Mastodon, but a lot lighter on resources. Mastodon is built on Rails, requires PostgreSQL, Redis, a task server (sidekiq) and optionally Elasticsearch. Pleroma goes by with just PostgreSQL and is built on Elixir. I don't know much about Linux server but that's what I read in a forum. Pleroma is also more hackable and you can easily change the frontend or use multiple interchangeable front ends. You can run Pleroma on a Raspberry Pi but not Mastodon.
@John Doe Ok I really prefer MariaDB to PostgreSQL. So if MariaDB / MySQL is not an option I probably won't go there, but I've found often things work that aren't officially supported, such as using Apache for proxy / reverse proxy when nginx are called for.
@Robert Dinse Alex Gleason, a Pleroma developer is selling free speech Pleroma instances based on US and Texas laws for $10 per month on his own servers. I think it's a good option for people who want their own instance but they don't have the skills to install it themselves, The site is: tribes.host/
@Robert Dinse I have an account on Gleason's instance but I prefer Friendica and Hubzilla because I'm not much into micro blogging, The good thing about Pleroma and Mastodon is they have dedicated mobile apps with push notifications, but Friendica works fine with Frio theme on mobile.
@Robert Dinse I think that would be a good idea. Not many cloud hosting providers offer such services. I know Digital Ocean has an easy way to install Mastodon.
@John Doe We offer free nextcloud (nextcloud.eskimo.com/), if customers want shell or remote desktop access to Linux servers in addition it is $7/month or $84/year for that.
@John Doe Nextcloud is there for anyone to use, just register an account, if you want shell and linux remote desktop access (remote desktop via x2go, vnc, remote desktop, or via the web), that is $7/month or $84/year. Signing up for Linux access automatically signs you up for nextcloud as nextcloud also authenticates against the linux user base.

I think this is a gross and insulting over generalization.
