@skydotbit I think they just want it to be like the ipad - a closed platform ecosystem for "security reasons". Every OS upgrade seems to push things in that direction.. IMO.
@amberdambey Well, I sorta doubt you want to join my single user instance. The offer is open, though. I run a iceshrimp.net instance, which I'm intending on going public with once the new dedicated server I ordered is up and running next week.
I have no intention of shutting it down, and if I ever do I'll provide you with several months notice.
@lauren If you’re backing up the public cache directory I hope you are encrypting the backups as there can be unwanted material in there that you don’t want your backup provider scanning for.
@skydotbit You can use a file system with deduplication but that will only help you if the media on all instances is identical. If your sharkey instance (never used it) converts the images into webp or something, it won't be helpful.
