If you look at the email screenshot it’s from sdf.org. They’re pretty awesome and I’m guessing it’s just some sort of oversight. OP should just send them an email and I’m sure they’d resolve it.

Yeah, those two squares tend to have a pretty smooth gradient between the two. People who are progressive FOSS enthusiasts tend to like some of the “more traditional” stuff in reality too.

Yes, you’re in the wrong section. You are looking at dedicated servers, and they are talking about VPS’. You can find them at https://www.hetzner.com/cloud, /u/Mallias was speaking about the CPX31 (under “Shared vCPU (x86)”)

Not exactly. The always free tier just cuts you off if you try to go over your limits. It won’t let you allocate stuff that it doesn’t allow. I don’t really understand how they can offer so much for free, but my consensus has mostly been “It’s arm, and they probably spy a bit”. Which some people are alright with, some people aren’t. You can technically strip the OCI Agent from your VPS if you care about that second bit.

I honestly think most people would go back just out of habit. Even if they don’t go back, once things calm down. I’d absolutely love people to move to fedi, but I just don’t think it’s gonna happen.

I hate element so much on mobile (and desktop, but not as much). I’ve been planning on making my own Matrix client for a while.

Just if you wanted more than one. Just like u/kadu said about email. It’s like if you had your email on Google, Yahoo, and Hotmail. I know a lot of people have an alt on platforms like Discord too.

It’s mainly a thing of controlling your own stuff if you’re speaking of self hosted servers. If you mean just smaller instances in general, it’s normally because you prefer their management/moderation. You can still view all of the stuff from the other instances just fine even if you’re on a single user instance.
