Surprised no one has suggested Knowledge Commons https://hcommons.social as an instance that is a haven for scholarly people. Perhaps more in higher education, but K12 educators would be welcome and well taken care of with the good moderation. Formerly Humanities Commons, it has expanded into STEM education and other fields to be more inclusive. Based at Michigan State University, it has government grants and other support to sustain its services.
I also recommend Knowledge Commons for blogging or maintaining a free Website. I was just starting to discuss research repositories and criticizing Academia Edu at https://hcommons.social/@SteveMcCarty/112609326085901837 without having space to suggest open access alternatives like Knowledge Commons. Its repository welcomes teaching materials, syllabi, and all sorts of genres, to which I've been happy to contribute, at https://hcommons.social/@SteveMcCarty
Isn't call for genocide and mass murder, against mastadon's polcieis?
How can a person openly say such outrageous thing that we need to be thankful that Netanyahu did not do what this guys grandparents did almost 80 years ago and murdered millions of people?
A person saying the same thing about Israelis would be banned and suspended IMMEDIATELY. But such despicable calls go unpunished.
I'm so fed up with mods falling for the #aipac "holocaust inversion" bullshit, I'm going to start reporting all #Israel apologist posts as "supporting violent ideologies."
Pruebo de nuevo a etiquetar a @detun3d y @detun3d por si hubiera cambiado algo.
No le prestéis mucha atención a esto a menos que queráis ver también qué interacciones federan y cuales no.
Y de paso, una imagen de un gatito.
Y respondo de nuevo al hilo, pero esta vez me ahorro la mención a ambos grupos. No adjunto nada, ya que esta publicación es para comprobar si las respuestas al hilo de un grupo de #Lemmy y/o #Kbin dependen también de estas menciones desde #Mastodon o no. Probaré en otro momento desde #Pixelfed, aunque en mis anteriores pruebas fue la que peor federaba con estos grupos.
Y no sólo eso.
Desde #Mastodon debería verse una respuesta anterior a esta de parte de la cuenta de @detun3d que sin embargo no ha desencadenado ninguna notificación, quizá por no llevar mención (editaré por si es el caso). y probaré a no hacer mención a la cuenta de Mastodon en esta ocasión.
Another asshole on mastodon who got mad about my post about German police attacking a man carrying Jews against genocide.
Supporting police brutality against those protesting against ongoing genocide while crying over lack of free speech for those denying the Holocaust is the lowest I have seen.
Extreme right and so called liberals seems to be united in their fight against Palestinian protesters (as always).
AFAICT, mastodon's decisions, which are arguably problematic (on which see: https://lemmy.ml/post/14973403) are literally trickling down to other platforms and infecting how they federate with each other as they dance around mastodon's quirks in different ways.
It seems like masto is ruining "the standard" with its gravity.
The future of selfhosted services is going to be... Android?
Wait, what?
Think about it. At some point everyone has had an old phone lying around. They are designed to be constantly connected, constantly on... and even have a battery and potentially still a SIM card to survive power outages.
We just need to make it easy to create APK packaged servers that can avoid battery-optimization kills and automatically configure an outbound tunnel like ngrok, zerotrust, etc...
The goal: hosting services like #nextcloud, #syncthing, #mastodon!? should be as easy as installing an APK and leaving an old phone connected to a spare charger / outlet.
It would be tempting to have an optimized ROM, but if self-hosting is meant to become more commonplace, installing an APK should be all that's needed. #Android can do SSH, VPN and other tunnels without the need for root, so there should be no problem in using tunnels to publicly expose a phone/server in a secure manner.
In regards to the suitability of home-grade broadband, I believe that it should not be a huge problem at least in Europe where home connections are most often unmetered: "At the end of June 2021, 70.2% of EU homes were passed by either FTTP or cable DOCSIS
3.1 networks, i.e. those technologies currently capable of supporting gigabit speeds."
PS. syncthing actually already has an APK and is easy to use. Although I had to sort out some battery optimization stuff, it's a good example of what should become much more commonplace.
