Discussion - Potential piefed instance in the future? (infosec.pub)

Hello m@teys,

I've been waiting for this a long time (half a year), personally. After seeing the surge in piefed instances, i.e. blahaj, .ca, .zip, quokk.au, and .world creating their own instances, and clients guaranteeing future piefed support, we've been thinking about potentially opening an instance in the future. Not a guarantee, just an idea. This isn't a voting thread, just a discussion. Later on we'll actually vote on this.

Do note that this thread will not guarantee an instance; we are discussing a hypothetical. Suggestions? Ideas? Criticisms? make your voice heard.

Have a good week!

Growing is usually good. Do the expanded tools to the admins warrant the additional headache?

Sometimes being small and having your own dark little corner of the internet where the “normies” don’t hang out is OK too.

A lot of forums started with a barrier of entry that required a small bit of tech savvy to get there. Not that picking an instance to get on the fediverse is that hard, but if it’s keeping someone at bay, that might be preferable.

We don't have interest in being mainstream, we like dbzer0 how it is. It's mainly about the faster development/extra features, and shouldn't be a problem to manage
