Well then... @administrator is there a way you can block this user from contacting me or appearing in my TL at all? Her behaviour borders on harrassment. (I told her not to address me but she keeps doing it and I want this to stop.) Thank you.
In fact, 130 kwh/month is pretty much. It's 1560 kwh/year, and I am way below with around 950 kwh/year. Or is that the usage of two persons in one flat?
@administrator There doesn't seem to be a way for me to unsubscribe from atomicpoet@calckey.social. (gs.net only returns an unspecific error message.) Could you please unsubscribe me from that account? Thank you!
@administrator @elbinario Hi there. As I feel that gs.net isn't quite the right instance for me any more, I was wondering if you could imagine setting up and hosting a single-user instance for me for a fee?
No, I ended the contact with Lohang. Also he didn't manage to put up a gnusocial instance by himself, got a mastodon run and some single-user instance instead, the latter running software I dont know. But reportedly he isn't happy with it, as many things (federation) don' seem to work properly.
I look for a gnusocial host but don't want to do the hands-on work by myself because that, for me, is a waste of precious lifetime which I can better spend on something else.
With regard to the "single tenant web": Do you have any gut feelings about the usage of energy and hardware resources the Fedeverse would need and consume in the small tenant web (STW) vs the current semi-centralised form (SCW)? Ideally, if every user had his own instance, wouldn't that consume even more energy than larger instances do now, given the amount of conversation-posts that always have to be repeated again and again in every call and response? (You wrote a text on that latter a few months back.) So, although a STW may be preferred for various reasons, ecological reasons may drive others to opt for the SCW.
Always funny to watch people's conflation of "decentralized" with "independent / unhampared communication". In fact, decentralisation offers main instances the same power over user interactions *across* the fediverse as would "walled gardens". As a result, the old distinction between "closed" and "open gardens" makes no sense any more. More important is who can scale first and can thus set the standards. The rest follows suit or disappears in his invisibility. But people have been warned. They wanted the fediverse to grow and expand, and that means that Rochko and his Mastodon won.

So the Dear Leader of Mastodon is branching out into Meta? And Meta creates some P69? I'm not surprised. This is what happens when free software projects accomplished all the necessary preparatory work for centralised players to use the code and scale quickly. This is what "freedom" achieves. The domination of the rudest player. (And I would count in the Dear Leader of Mastodon for how he damaged the Fediverse.) But as long as people don't reflect on these negative sides of "free" software, things will keep being like this. Perhaps it is indeed a good time to leave the Fediverse for good.
