Mastodawn

I'll just put this here for the #record in case anyone wants to #question me about it later.

I #donated with #BitCoin back in January to #AnnasArchive and now the site's knocked #offline literally.

I paid like C$120.00 for the online form of the #project just to disappear.

Yeah ok #wikipedia has them moving #domains every other day but it was a lot more stable than that before I gave them a leg up.

This is why I hate centralized #websites and hosting.

This is why #self #hosting works by connecting #dedicated #servers to the #internet as a whole.

If you use anything less, you will face more #legal challenges hosting #human #knowledge and unfortunately, it is as #simple as that.

You cannot convince me that #BigTech is not turning into #authorized #tech as it seems as though the #copyright #industry and the #torent industry has eluded to colluding with one another to obtain #rights for.

Guys, I don't know what to say anymore. I'm a huge fan of #books and #media and #free #open #source #software and I long for the day that the #government doesn't need to get a cut of everything I #download or #upload anywhere, especially for #personal #use over all.

Please do whatever you can to fight #statistical #bottlenecks where ever they appear. I want humanity to have better access to #education and #intelligence built by real people in a fair and consistent manner.

I always am striving and trying my best to be a better #human being.

@elshara
I get your frustration — this happens often with unstable hosting and domain issues. Not everyone can self-host properly, though.

At RootHosts, we offer stable, independent hosting with more control and reliability. You can test everything with a 7-day free trial before paying. If you're happy, we can also help with long-term hosting and maintenance.

@roothosts Yeah I'll keep that in mind.

It's not a slight against you personally, but I just can't trust centralized hosting providers in general after seeing so many projects fail at that level due to literal management practices of basic essential standards a decade ago nobody would bat an eye at let alone fight against.

I have enough storage space to not want to lose the server I've got, but I do genuinely appreciate you reaching out to me.

It means a lot to me that there's still decent business opportunities for people that love Mastodon and want to see it alone become the best that it can be.
