social.dk-libre.fr is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I come out to see that the marvelous @lisamelton@mastodon.social gave it a boost! Thank you Lisa!
Then I went to check on my VPS and it is showing:
load average: 0.07, 0.05, 0.05
New #snac instance survived a Lisa boost. Yay! (Lisa Melton Boost Certified)
If you really believe in the silly 500 character limit, then why the heck is everyone posting "3/12" continuation threads?
Either the limit is a good idea, and nobody should post multi-part toots, or its a dumb idea, and should be retired (in favor of a ~6k post limit). One or the other. Cut the crap, already.
I'd 100x rather see long posts shortened with a "See more" button than yet another toot that ends with "1/" 🤦🏻♂️
Forcing people to create threads just to get their thought across is terrible UX, and I'm tired of being diplomatic about it.

Edit: I forgot, it's 500, not 250. I was probably thinking of Twitter, which went from 140 to 280, and now who even knows. XD
Thanks to oxzi, matoken, Louis Merlin, dandelions, Bruno Cesar Rocha and any other contributors I may have missed as well!
I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.91 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31777
GitHub Continuous Integration checks are running, hopefully they will complete without issues?
Regardless, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it!

@Paulatics I heard lots of stories about servers with bad moderators, both ones that ignore abuse complaints and ones where the mods were abusive, so I decided to run my own.
Had #snac (fediverse software) been around when I started, I’d already be on it - it’s super simple to set up. I’ll move to snac from Akkoma some time soon.
Check this line from the upcoming release notes:
"Added a new CONTRIBUTING.md file. Among other guidelines, I explicitly say there that AI contributions are NOT accepted."
In its entirety:

Ever have those moments where you feel as if the kids may be alright?
@grunfink@comam.es continues to deliver!
"If you want to be in the Fediverse without relying on big intances, or if you just want to own your #data & #identity on the network, running your own instance is the way to go.
That is where Mastodon alternatives such as GoToSocial & #snac comes in.
snac (Social Networks Are Crap) is a minimalistic, lightweight #ActivityPub instance…perfect for single user instances or small communities, and it's so light that even a #RaspberryPi can handle it without breaking a sweat."

Attention #GoToSocial people: I have been testing @mastoblaster - an iOS Fediverse client - and it's working SO WELL! It's even grouping GtS notifications... something that Ivory doesn't do.
More info here:
Congratulations @stefano for your brilliant work on it!
#MastoBlaster has its own #Fediverse account - powered by #snac
