You can just block the lemmit online bot.

But yes we have been thinking of hiding or blocking these repost bots from our all feed for a while now as they mostly just add noise.

In low earth orbit the radiation is less of an issue. The bigger issue is actually heat dissipation.

To give you ballpark figures. Self-hosting will not save you much compared to that.

Software like Akkoma or GoToSocial will save you some CPU and RAM costs, but are more optimized for smaller instances.

Every case is unique, so you need to do what you think is best for your specific case. I personally mostly perfer to invest into things that lower my ongoing costs and not things that increase my income. In the end time is the most valuable thing you have, so think about it from that perspective.

Good opsec includes not endangering other people that might have less good opsec. I am personally not at risk because I don't live in Germany.

Ugh, another three percentage points more for Chega 😓

And the conversative government is not going to improve the housing problem, which is afaik the main reason why people vote for Chega, immigration is only a secondary reason.

That wasn't me, but in specific cases where multiple accounts are used for ban evasion or similar stuff that can be justified from a moderation perspective.

And if you do such a bad job that it is easy to guess your sockpuppet accounts then that is really a failure in opsec on your side 😅

No, a good example would have been the Frelimo fight against the Portuguese colonialists in Mozambique that resulted in a declaration of independence and the creation of a new state.

The example of Zimbabwe is is somewhere between that and the relatively reformist transition in South Africa, as Rhodesia (in agreement with their government) briefly reverted to being a British colony on paper to conduct elections which the previous rebel forces won and then formally declared independence from the UK.

I find it highly slanderous to be labled a "Rhodesia lover" for simply stating historical facts. Rhodesia was a racist apartheit state I am absolutly opposed to.

Please stop lying. I never defend Rhodesia in any shape or form. I simply stated that afaik Zimbabwe is considered the successor state by international law and shared some historical facts that you can also read up on the Wikipedia or any history book.

No, the rules here do not suppress such differing opinions as long as they don't advocate for genocide (or could be easily misinterpreted as such by the german police).

I personally agree that the German government has gone far beyond what would be reasonable in that regard, but feddit.org is not the German government. They simply try to find a minimal set of rules that do not directly endanger them of police raids in Germany and otherwise these are basic rules of respecting human rights.

If you openly endorse such bordering on genocidal positions then no, that would be very likely also a bannable offense.

If you endorse or deny the current ethnic clensing done by the Israelis you will very likely also get banned for that, yes.
