Started out on the fmhy.ml just prior to the .ml debacle. On lemmy.world now, but they have just started banning piracy communities. The new fmhy instance, of course, has already died before I got to try it.

sigh Married pasty male looking for lemmy instance that:

Has some decent uptime / Reliable / Not on a fly by night top level domain
Hates Nazi's and doesn't hesitate to ban, block and defederate such crap
Tolerant of piracy communities and federations
Oh, and will let me see comments in the Technology community. That isn't working for me here.

Suggestions welcome.

Host your own instance and you can control what you federate and defederate with.

Otherwise you’re probably not going to find an instance that fits all of your wants.

You’ll probably just want to join a piracy geared instance as your home instance if that’s important to you.

Problem is that selfhosting makes it significantly harder to be anonymous when everyone can see your IP with a trivial lookup. Or I guess you could rent a VPS instead of running it locally.

Some might say that's a feature, not a bug. If you're not willing to stand by your words, then who are you, really?

But fine, let's talk:

There's Cloudflare, for what they're worth on privacy and anonymity.

There's VPS, as you say, but they are responsive to subpoenas.

There are sketchy "data haven" counties whose sketchy economy you're fueling with your rent. (* Cough * .ml * cough *)

Chose, but chose wisely.

Just because you choose a domain in a "data haven", doesn't mean that you're necessary more or less private.

It does help with piracy for not getting a site shutdown but I think that's the only reason.

Also you CAN run a small instance for free through Oracle cloud (as long as you enable swap if you're using the amd instances) but your main limitations are going to be storage, as I use around a gig-ish per day with subscribing to a large percentage of the large communities (though there are things that are supposed to help with this like LPP, but I've never used it myself)
