Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Where do you get that from? I have no love for tankies, but from what I've seen, they've built a product that's free of their biases, opensourced it and thrown it over the wall with no strings attached.
If you want to make a rooten-tooten white supremacist nazi instance with Lemmy, you can do exactly that. Nobody has to federate with you, and you don't have to federate with them.
Strange take.
Yah, I'm going to need a citation on that claim.
Edit: Too many people are misunderstanding this post, so I'm removing its contents. To clarify: No checks exist in the current version of Lemmy - these were parts of previous versions.
First: They did actually end up removing this and making it configurable, check the bottom of the page. In a vacuum, the idea to stop cut-and-clear racists and trolls from using Lemmy is not something that's too controversial. Sure, they are being hard asses about changing their mind and allowing instance owners to configure it themselves (and I'm glad they changed their mind). But there's a big overlap between passionate and opinionated people, so they have to be at times to ensure a project doesn't devolve into something they can't put your passion into anymore.
Second: I mean... what do you expect? In the issue above they actively encourage people to make their own fork of Lemmy and run that if they don't like something from the base version of Lemmy, so I kind of would assume they do as they preach. Instance owners also have the option to block communities without defederation. Lemmy.ml is basically their home instance. If anything this is a reason not to make an account on lemmy.ml, but as long as that doesn't leak into the source code of Lemmy, who cares?
I know they removed it. The post was in reference to Lemmy's development history, not the current source release.
