    Very cool Jerry! Incredible detail and response time.

    As a fellow (though admittedly quite ashamed with our current geopolitical situation) USian, I’d like to swap to feddit.online as my daily fedi-driver if the performance/stability is decent, and if it’s cool with you of course :D

    Only other question I have is–What is the intended purpose of feddit.online? Is it just a hobbyist project for fun?

      Honestly, I am also ashamed to say I’m an American these days. I still can’t believe how the election turned out. I am so distressed.

      There are two reasons I opened feddit.online, and the other 9 public decentralized instances.

      First, I want to do my part to promote publicly owned social media. I believe centralized, billionaire-controlled social media is messing up people’s heads. Turning them into stupid zombies. They caused the political problems we face because they want more power and money. Nothing else.

      Second is to get the technical experience. Running these websites has taught me a lot. And some day I’d like to focus this knowledge into helping Open-Source projects.

      My other open servers are: Mastodon, Friendica, Peertube, Pixelfed, Matrix, XMPP/Jabber, Phanpy, Bluesky PDS, and Mobilizon. I also have 3 private servers (WordPress, NextCloud, and an Email server).

      You’re welcome to join. Everyone is. The light is on for you!
