Will it still be possible to purchase a VPS in another country and pay with Monero or something? This seems like insane over reach, are theu going to make it illegal for americans to do business with international IAAS providers?

But dont a lot of ISPs assign you a dynamic IP which makes hosting something that can access the Internet, and be accessed from the Internet, difficult?
I think communities run by people who wish to mod them arbitrarily should be allowed to exist.
Lately ive been getting a lot of new music from rateyourmusic.com . I look up an album i like, find some themed lists featuring it that aound interesting (a lot of the lists are like “things i listened to this year”, i ignore those), and will hop from list to list as i see interesting looking albums.
I never used bare DOS, my first experience with a PC was on windows 3.1
I think about this a lot. I’m so grateful I had the experience of messing with the windows registry and other phenomena of the 90s.
I have a couple of thoughts.
I dont need or want Lemmy to appeal to the mainstream. Frankly, I already get all the mainstream ‘culture’ I can stand, and frequntly more.
I think it’s a mistake to consider Lemmy a one-to-one repacement for Reddit. I hope the fediverse can leverage the whole, y’know, federation thing. I think topic-driven instances that function similarly to the old phpBB boards is a good paradigm. It’s not about a monster site that has a board for everything. It’s more answering the question, ‘What if I could post on gamefaqs from my metal archives account?’
I guess I just think we could do better than trying to out-reddit reddit, when it comes to having a vision for the platform.
