Exactly why I host my own. Not under this username though, because I’d get defed’d by most of Lemmy. LOL My stalkers don’t know my instance name or username there because it doesn’t interact with this username at all. haha
Everyone should own their own. To be clear tho, mine is totally a $5 VPS from a racknerd black friday sale held together with Docker Compose and prayers. But I only have 6 active users, who are all my friends, and I won’t allow more, so all good!
