jup, there is already a preview app, someone i follow on Microblogging-fedi has signed up and got automatically banned within seconds

but yes they’re launching in America first (uh) and they will be federating someday maybe probably

I just set up mine! Because i’m soooo fucking based and so fucking cool :3

Most germans are on gmx.net, and they block residential ips. So it’s impossible to send them messages. So i had to abandon my efforts.

How about you provide me with a SOURCE!

Well here you are: https://mastodon.social/@alexeheath/110596207691212890

Eugen respondend though: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/110599738227401392

And there were other screenshots of Eugen saying he was meeting with Meta Maybe no secret deals- But an NDA meeting.

The thing is: the average person with admin skills can probably house 100+ users at almost no cost, or comfortably out of pocket

maybe a few donations soo thats what decentralisation hopes to achive

?? then clearly, i CANNOT run an email server? without buying my way into a higher status of ip address?

i can host fedi from residential ip’s, and that’s a huge part why it’s possible for us to talk right now (of course, i need cloudflares help for this, since i have no ipv4 address - but other than that)

To be honest, you can explain this to anyone fairly quickly, at least when you have someones irl attention. Maybe not your grandparents

But who cares, they weren’t really active on social medias anyway

hi from other fediverse server

A VPS is basically just a complicated way of making an account with a large infrastructure provider imo if i can’t have a raspberry pi, that costs only electricity, and have it host an email server

the protocol is not open! at least it is more closed than i’d like - it’s open enough for companies, granted

Thank youu! We had a few funny ideas
