GiftedMC

I cant believe I managed to make another update exactly one week later. Please forget that this is the case since I will definitely not be able to hold any tight schedule with these updates.

This week I have seen a lot of traffic on world concerning meta. Some of it nuanced, some of it highly critical and some outright propaganda which is omitting the truth and trying to influence people to "look the other way" while they take over our fediverse.

It is also the reason why I decided to update the description of our instance today so we are somewhat up to date on links and support options.

I havent put this in the description but I will likely do so after finishing this post but we have signed the fedipact back when it was clear that federation with meta was going to happen. Our instance will never federate with meta and we will not change this, no matter what happens.

If something else majorly happens I might post another update soon. Lets see.

Remember that you can join GiftedMC, even if you dont like minecraft, as a supporter. Check our instance sidebar for support options.

Thanks for reading and have a good one!

Hi folks,

as some of you know, I‘m very busy and always on the hunt for new and interesting projects which makes regular efforts to keep regular schedules a bit hard.

Thats why this is pretty much the first real update since the inception of this instance.

So far I have learned that maintaining a lemmy instance isnt too hard but updating it is quite a lot of effort.

We are currently on 0.19.3 so we should be good in terms of federation bugs of the previous 0.19 versions. We have defederated threads.net and this is non negotiable. I made this instance to get away from megacorps and I‘m not going back. The amount of content will be insane and I have neither the time nor the money to receive it.

The instance is backed up daily so our posts should be fine, no guarantees though as lemmy is nowhere near release (the version number 0.19.3 should tell you that). Its the same in every instance but I choose to be transparent about it.

If you want to join the instance or support my work, check out my patreon on https://patreon.com/haui111. The server this runs on costs money every month and I‘m regularly donating to the lemmy devs myself so by supporting me, you support lemmy as well. If you want alternative paying solutions like liberapay, lmk.

I will try to make some more update posts in the future. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

Hey folks! We have some news for you. A couple weeks ago we began to move from our old accounts on reddit, twitter and facebook to the #fediverse!

We now have fediverse instances for the 4 major protocols:

• lemmy.giftedmc.com
• mastodon.giftedmc.com
• matrix.giftedmc.com
• peertube.giftedmc.com

We're also working on a classic forum and a wiki but they're gonna take a long time to populate. A lot more so than the fediverse stuff.

Please note that all of this is expensive, both in money as in time. If you can, help us out on https://patreon.com/haui111 or https://buymeacoffee.com/haui111.

Feel free to ask any questions in the comments!

Have a good one!

This is the first post on this lemmy instance!
