    It’s also asking way too fucking much of the average person. Running multiple fediverse instances is basically a hobby and I barely have time for the hobbies I already have (and actually enjoy). It also is probably at least $100-200/year extra financial commitment in hosting and I’m being conservative on that number.

    I’ll stick to using existing instances, tyvm

      I have not seen anyone in this thread ask for people to run their individual instance, but I do get your point

      Edit: I know how costly and bothersome it is, I host my fair share of stuff, specifically this Lemmy instance too

        The video we’re commenting on has the description text

        And hosting your own content is just not a great option for most. That’s all I’m saying.
