@toothless @pj for instance, my account is on a small Danish instance run by @saustrup in his basement. So maybe it's mors like a million clown cars of various sizes going in all directions?
It's anarchy by design, which also means it can't be controlled or shut off. It's resistance infrastructure.

@EvilCartyen @toothless @pj @saustrup And I run my own instance for my Brother and myself. It’s great that no company controls what’s said on here.

@pj You're only supposed to post wild speculation about headlines you've read. Not the actual article contents.

@EvilCartyen @toothless @pj Weeeeell.. Technically it's running on a Kubernetes cluster in Germany. Somewhere with a really cool name. Something that ends in Stein, I think. Anyhoo, the off-site backup is in the basement, so there's that..

@pj yes they do, and I hope you’re sitting down when you have the shocking realization that the link you posted stays exactly as you posted it—no automatic “link shortening” (i.e., rewriting the URL to route it through some tracking system so everyone who clicks on it will have that fact added to their Permanent Record aka adtech profile)

@b0rn_dead @pj I like to save the time it takes to hit a key and cheat death juuuuust a little bit and use archive.ph
