It’s not a perfect solution (and I know people don’t love Cloudflare) but their Tunnels project is free. Hides your personal IP from the world, and provides some protection against known exploits.

But a VPS is quicker and easier, for sure.

I dunno, but it depends on the instance. Here’s a screenshot from lemmus.org:

And here’s the same community seen from lemmy.sdf.org:

Well, at least you share a tectonic plate, so that’s nice.

Agreed. Technology Connections is one of my favorite channels – it’s always a good day when Alec posts a new video. I wish people would treat him better, he certainly deserves it.

When you compare Alec’s recent videos with his early ones, it’s pretty clear that the negativity he receives has been wearing him down. Like many YouTubers, even when he’s sharing information about something he loves, he’s very bitter and sarcastic about it. Like, half of each video is trying to pre-argue with his trolls.

I understand why popular content creators have to set boundaries because it seems like a pretty soul-destroying job to have. If Bluesky helps him do that, more power to him. But for a nobody like me, I prefer Mastodon, largely because I’ve made friends with people on my local instance, and interacting with other servers is merely a bonus feature.
