Basically what I mean is, did you also come here from reddit?

I came here after I got my Reddit account banned permanently. And the thing is, I don't exactly know why I got banned. Nor what I did wrong. I always tried to follow the rules, post and comment appropriately and nicely, but on New Year's Day last week, I got a message simply saying "Your account have been permanently banned for violating the rules.

But when I replied asking what rule or rules I unknowingly broke, they just messaged me back saying "you got banned because you violated the community guidelines". So now I'm here.

What about you? Are you also a Reddit Refugee?

Please tell me you're self hosting that on a broken down 2012 laptop, using a $99 GoDaddy domain for the ultimate fuck you asthetic.

well, no. i wanted to build something scalable and something a little more fashioned like reddit so i ended up using an open source project called mbin.

its runnin ~40$/m for the resources required on a rental outta helsinki.

i like to keep it open to the public as a fediverse onramp.. not a lot of local content, but pulls in quite a bit of shit. i think my compressed database backups are ~7GB. image store is ~500GB/3.25m unique.

after 3 years, some instance stats:
