It’s not that special is the thing. Any tech company can replicate what tik-tok is doing it’s just that they don’t have inertia that tik-tok does.

Not sure but giving your own products preferential placement on what you present to the public as an open marketplace is an anti-competitive behavior that they have been caught doing.

As opposed to what, exactly?

Went with your build. Should have everything by the end of the week. Thanks for the help :)

Thanks for this! I’m into a smaller build I just wasn’t sure if I should because I read that it can be more difficult for noob PC builders.

I’m not really into most AAA stuff that’s coming out so that’s why I thought it would be enough. Also I’m fine with around 60 fps but I just want the ability to go higher for eSports/competitive stuff (have no qualms dropping settings for a competitive edge lol)

Also I didn’t list it but I’m grabbing a couple 2 tb ssds to throw on there for about 100 each

Thanks for the response :). I was planning on just a standard board (that’s atx right?). I’m in the US and I’m fine with rebates. As far as budget goes I’m trying to stay around/under $1500 but I’m also open to going over a bit if there’s more value in other choices.

Just go eat a bunch of psilocybin and report back OP

I’ve reported some fucked up shit yet somehow it never violates their standards.

The Patriot act expired.

I don’t really like it (not that I dislike it). It just makes sense to be here for the work and the public transportation in case I don’t have a car for any length of time

Good human.

There’s like 3 different users with anime pfp going to bat for loli all over the different instances and it’s definitely annoying. Like nobody gives a shit that technically this or that. Most people don’t want to see it.

Well then it’s definitely be a lot easier for you than me lol. I’d run my own instance too but I’ve only learned a tiny bit of C and python. I have a general idea of some software development paradigms but haven’t actually studied them very much.

You’d definitely have the ultimate control in that circumstance. Plus if you wanna get into web hosting and programming type of stuff it could be a good project.

That’s fair. And you’ll also have to deal with more bullshit for seeking out that kind of community but it might be a worthwhile tradeoff for you.

Surely there’s a middle ground between “defederating hundreds of instances” and “defederating practically none”.

While that may be true to an extent, it’s also reasonable to want a place where you can let your guard down.
