Well it’s just as bad but in a different way.

Big cooperations may not respect me as an individual, but they have a self-preserving interest, a brand image to loose, and are checked by privacy watchdogs.

A Lemmy I stance can be run on any PC in some anonymous guys basement; there really no way of telling.

The thing is, there is really no way to know is trustworthy as a home instance…?

Interesting, thanks. Have you added the additional Docker containers manually or are you using Docker Swarm etc. to automatically spin up and shut down new containers as needed? If not that might be worth looking into; e.g. also to not have unutilized containers running and eating up your budget.

I’m curious; is this instance pysically running on a local private server somewhere or in the cloud in some data center?
