all the OP ones

lemm.ee looks most tolerant of the bigger lemmies maybe

bluedwarf.top is a little text only cozy forum

I "back up" my posts to my computer, then just do a keyword file search to find stuff if I ever want to repost places

Some of the reddit alternatives sound interesting (discuit, squabblr, etc.) even if they have the same problems that may doom them eventually; I just havent gotten to experimenting with too many other forums I guess

MOB once said it wasn't expensive, maybe a couple hundred bucks a year

you could operate a lemmy instance on a spare old computer for the price of electricity

You could buy hosting like with Dreamhost (I forget if wolfballs ended up using another), I forget how much it is a month, maybe like $10? Buy a domain and have them host and then you just set up the software

I don't think it's expensive overall, more probably of the time and effort of coding

there may be more costs

I've wondered if / when donky would open up

yeah make use of gab

also scored freeforum, wolfballs, explodingheads communities (or just freeforum maybe)

we also need a new lemmy instance to migrate to

I think their reasoning is defederation has become de facto censorship and created fragmentation problems

even among the leftists there's been some big defederations (lemmyworld against a piracy instance, beehaw against lemmyworld, hexbear being defederated by beehaw / lemmyworld I think, etc.)

I'm used to migrating, just make sure we get a bunch of people on alternative platforms

Gab freeforum: https://gab.com/groups/72118

freeforum is on scored but kinda inactive: https://scored.co/c/freeforum

We can migrate to other lemmy instances (recommended ones?)

Nostr migration will gain most or many of us as in the post

> post more?
