Is there anything newer than 2021 here?
Love it. While not all titles get replaced (crowd sourced) just the fact that the thumbnails get normalized is enough for it to be worth it.
This is the way to do it.
all of these features are on-demand
none of the things you don’t [need] (such as user data harvesting, ads & tracking).
Choice of leading LLM models from all the leading providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, …)
All threads are private by default, retained only as long as you want and subscriber data is not used for training models
Yeah I think you got the numbers crossed there :D
I think a lot of people start up a server because at the time it fits with what they want to do. Once you realize this is not a job (correct description) you wanted to take on it becomes much harder to motivate it.
As soon as you run a server for others outside of the immediate friends/family circle it can be really difficult to deal with the expectations of uptime and service. Also, some don’t want to ask for help but also take on all the moderation themselves too.
@seb@ioc.exchange publishes the costs for ioc.exchange:
Servers are hosted at Linode and hosting costs are around $300/month. Media files are hosted in AWS S3 and the costs are around $50/month. So in total our running costs are about $350/month.
Unfortunately the donations still don’t cover it.
This is your regular reminder that our hosting costs are roughly $350 per month. In the last 30 days you all have contributed $216. Thank you very much for everyone who has contributed - You are awesome!

Sorry, I forgot to make it clear that the point was that your “maybe in the future…” is already the same as how it works now. No difference.
This is how the protocol works.
You only get content from those you follow (in your home feed).
Your server’s local feed will contain all posts made by users on your server.
Your server’s global feed will contain all posts from users someone on your server follows.
Note how #3 isn’t actually a global feed. Spin up your own server at home and it will be the same as your home feed when you’re the only users.
Even if you federate with Threads, there’s simply no way for them to “inject ads” into any of these feeds.
You don’t get posts from accounts you don’t follow. My server’s global feed only includes posts from accounts people on my server follow.
Just claiming “it will” is not a counter argument. That’s not how the protocol works.
I follow many Threads accounts.
/literally one more than no one
No, not bold. You don’t get posts from accounts you don’t follow.
Creating ads as if they are from a person would get Threads instabanned in the EU.
Ads don’t federate.
I pay 25EUR for a family subscription. Unlimited queries. Also means the risk of family members downloading malware (through paid ad results) is a lot lower.
There will always be those who offer things for free, always has been. Granted, we might’ve gotten used to higher quality (paid for by ads) and will need to “settle” for lower quality if we don’t pay with money - but I think for humanity’s sake this is something that needs to be done.
I’m hoping just as Proton do good free stuff using money I pay them (Visionary account) Kagi does/will do the same. The Internet as a whole needs to stop being ad-supported.
Not just a meta search engine though - they do have their own index as well.

You’re looking for Kagi.com
Not only does it give better search results quality wise on “the big web” - you can select to search specific parts, like blogs.
Best part - it’s completely ad and spam free. You pay for it with actual money instead of with your data.
Keep the Fediverse bot- and troll-free.
The whole idea of being able to behave like a shithead without accountability needs to go.
whatever country was the most progressive and secular would naturally gravitate towards good policies

IANAL - but I’ve worked for Big Company and have gone through the patent process a few times. A patent isn’t what’s written in the supporting text and abstract. It’s only the exact thing written out in the claims.
First claim from the patent the abstract is from:
Exactly everything described above must be done in that exact same way for there to be an infringement.
