is that considered best practice ?
i'm not sure how any of this is supposed to work or if as a user i am supposed to care.
i've budgeted next month to pay the maintainer of the thingy that i am thingy-ing and hopefully on a monthly basis. but is the end game for users to run their own instances ?
The end game is to either run your own instance, or find an instance that is run by an admin with the same mindset as you might have.
I found one that apparently does for me, but then that mindset is "let me see everything, and leave what I want to view up to me".
That's a pretty common mindset amongst small instance runners I think, including the one I'm on. Only caveat, this instance doesn't allow NSFW posting (viewing is fine), and has a pretty vague ban policy lmao
