They claim to (and some aren’t horrific), but they don’t work as well. So far, nothing beats Mona and Mastodon - hands down.

I ran a Pleroma instance for a while. I gave up because the application support wasn’t great. Now I run a mastodon instance - and the app support is much better. The resource usage is a non-issue.

I think OP made an error in stating you had to be 18. The oldest living person ever was 122 (as indicated by Blamemeta). As long as you are allowed a few pre-18 births, you can get to 7 generations). At 15 years old you can get to 8 generations.

If a pilot must retire at 65 for fear they will kill 200-300 people, you sure as hell should have to retire when 330 million lives are on the line.

I think those are #2 pencils - wash your hands after handling them!

I just thank the gods that I can download and install Firefox via chocolatey.

“…We’re going to make another submersible just like this one. Except we’ll use an XBox controller and the trips are going to cost $500,000 (so we can offset some of our expenses). Will that be check or credit card?…”

I run my own Mastodon instance. My wife uses it too. It is open to my family, but none have moved this way yet - more of a “not using mastodon” than “not your mastodon”. Easy to link to other instances. I use a docker based instance of mastodon with the db and nginx running on an Azure VM running Ubuntu. Easy to patch, and update. I spent days getting it running right (learning, tearing down, rinse, repeat) but now it is a few minutes a month maintaining. Let me know if you have any questions.
