I am wanting to self host a fediverse instance. I don’t hope to make it big. Hoping for 200 users at most, and I won’t advertise it heavily so it’ll probably be a while before it gets there.

Is it a bad idea to host something like this on local hardware at home? I have a lot of local-only self hosted services, and I wouldn’t want those to be compromised.

But my biggest fear is overloading my network. I already don’t get the fastest signal in some parts of my house, and I am worried the extra traffic might put more pressure on the network.

What are your thoughts on hosting local? Should I just avoid the headache and host on public instance?

      This comment could answer your previous… 😅 You’re not even being consistent in your attacks that have no base.

      I certainly did not advocate to enable child abuse anywhere. I just advocated against going after the wrong people and outing frustrations on the ones that didn’t do it. Just like you are proving to do now with me… 🤷‍♂️

      Why are you so offensively upset on a comment that did not say what you put into it as retaliation. Literally changing my point to be able to attack me with it. 😅

      Like I said. Keep your anger for people actually doing wrong, not on the ones that merely think differently than the exact way you do.
