@sortius good points, in particular "Chill" is great advice. 🙂

När det gäller hosting, VPS mm, är ett tips Friprogramvarusyndikatet: friprogramvarusyndikatet.se/

Jag har en VPS där som funkat mycket bra hittills.

@annika I always thought "mortgage" is a really strange word. Why is it called that? It's a loan on your house, right?

I can now proudly present this interesting interview with @nova who runs the #hachyderm instance which has around 30 000 users!

In the interview she tells ut how the work as an #admin looked like, how many volunteers are helping out and to learn a bit about her thoughts on #mastodon and technology.

Thank you so much Nova for your time to respond to my questions!

@clacke The ongoing downfall of democracy is to blame not on politicians, but on voters?

Se det från den "ljusa" sidan: tillståndet i Ungern är ändå vad vi är på väg mot, det är av allt att döma vad väljarna i Sverige vill ha. Se bara på vilken regering och politik de röstat fram. Gymnasiekidsen har kanske inte så värst fel, är lite före sin tid bara.

@hehemrin Also, even if the company really was trustworthy at some point, it can always happen that there is a change in ownership of that company. There is also the possibility that some government agency will force the company to do things against you, like China forced Apple in that example that The Guardian wrote about. That can happen in other countries as well, and users of closed-source software (with silent auto-updates) will not be able to know what is done against them.

@hehemrin The Proton text mentions something about 2017 when Apple was less aggressive with advertising. But as I see it, the fundamental problem was the same then as it is now: the fact that Apple has power over people through the closed-source software that Apple controls.

Even if there is a company that you think seems trustworthy, it is still a bad idea to let that company "own" you through closed software. You never know what they will do with that power later on.

@hehemrin That's interesting as an example of what they can do.

I think the most important thing, however, is not what they currently do but the fact that they *can* do things like that, and they can also do much worse.
