Don't forget you can always self host one's own instance and access the larger fediverse from it, without Ads. So because it's open source, itll always be easy to access the fediverse with an Ad free experience. A personal instance doesn't need to grow, scale, host 40gb of data, or have any content at all either so it doesn't come with the issues of a public instance.

Or Facebook who can spend money like no other, shove their users in, and will just control the whole thing.

This just doesn't make sense at all. IF Fb ever added ActivityPub support (it would take a huge rework of their format) but instances would just defederate from it like they did with ad supported instances. And then what is even the point of FB ActivityPub support if their exiled.

I couldn't happily imagine such a future personally. Thankfully its possible to block instances without having to pay for the privilege.

You can change the color ui in the settings bud, Blue, red and Green are options.

But even having the ability to do these things speaks volumes. With lemmy you actually have the option do to do all these things, and yeah they take effort for the amount of control you want. Limiting yourself like that is limiting your own freedoms yourself in exchange for convenience. Im actually considering running my own instance just for fun.

My old cheap Asus N66u router has a free dyndns service built-in. Super easy to setup. I use it to host a jellyfin setup. Bout to setup a torrent server and a NextCloud server. Used to run a owncloud server a few years back and loved having it.

I'll admit I wasn't familiar with the free tier. But if it gains any kind of traction though it'll go away too. They've vehemently shown through their actions that they want 3rd party apps gone, nsfw content gone and ads served.

Personally I'm much more excited for Sync for Lemmy.

Yeah I'm not thrilled about that, probably gonna be filled with paid content. I like slower paced games like that though, and like the social aspect as long as it isn't neutered.

I remember reading somewhere long ago that the shield tv had the processing & gaming power of an Xbox 360. The shield tv shares the same chip as the Switch, And those games are X360 era. In practice though it doesn't seem to work very well.
