hey, let's just keep this about Rampart please

does anyone actually care about AMAs? I thought they were glorified advertising lol. Also that's a tough sell, what instance would you point them to, and how would you convince them they'd get good PR?

Lol this post was at 25 when I uplemmied

why am I right now?

FOSS. I don't pirate at all, it's a security nightmare. If I were to, it'd be heavily sandboxed and definitely not anything important to my day-to-day. It's just not sustainable or ethical, not to mention extremely inconvenient. I just pirate some movies occasionally.

The fun part of the fedi is seeing the instance drama. Where before everyone would just yell at the centralized platform corporation, and now we get to yell at the people directly who are trying to filter us out! Usually for good reason.

Well you probably won't interact while gaming anyways. Little billy won't get attention when you're on a dark souls boss.

The great thing about Lemmy is that you can pop up your own instance to be pro or anti anything you want, and no one can stop you (except your VPS provider). Why do they ignore this and focus on personal attacks, when their project is giving power to those who may disagree with them.

Everyone knows there's only capitalism and evil communism. The cavemen were not enlightened to realize they should give all their hunting and gathering to their village leader while only being allowed scraps from their efforts.

They are called bulletproof hosting and are illegal. They get shut down pretty quick for obvious reasons. You won't find any reputable ones for a reason, because they don't want to be hosting illegal content like CP. They also get their IPs blacklisted and automatically marked as spam/suspicious/phishing. It's just a bad idea. You can have private hosting and not anonymous hosting, they are not the same.

You should never pay for for-profit social media, it's fundamentally backwards. Their service is not the product, your contributions and presence are. They are nothing without you, and require you.

The exception is things like instances on the Fedi where it's not for profit and you're putting up a server to include yourself.

I love my Deck, except my life got busy and all the games I play require mb+k. Thought I'd end of using it a lot more lol.
