Option 3, agree with others, there are other privacy focused instances.
Very interesting and balanced response.
I think we choose to believe logic(maths,physics) based on some form of faith, it's more scientific and based on peer reviews but ultimately there are times when some of this logic starts to break down e.g when you start looking at quantum and all the interesting things that can happen in theoretical physics with multiverse theory.
As far fetched as it can seem, I don't think we can totally count out some form of mysticism or higher power. What I would say is that the current versions we have been given are all man made so by nature they have all been manipulated in some way e.g crusades or more currently, the conflict in the middle east.
Some people are afraid of the answer being as simple as "we don't actually know" so they find the closest thing they can stick with to give them purpose.
Damn sounds too familiar 👀
Been using EndeavourOS as my main driver for 2 years now, I'm putting in the time to learn NixOS and so far it's been solid, would recommend it for rolling release stability which is issue with Arch if you don't update regularly enough.
Used to host my own instance on my home server but Lemmy requires alot more infrastructure like you and the team have built. Happy to have made the decision to join your ship.
Thanks for all you do for us 🙏🏾
Or just use one of the forks like EndeavourOS which takes away all that work.
