At least you can have clients that totally ignore reports. It seems like most ppl here prefer that.
What continent are you from?
I really need to switch clients, I can’t see a lot of stuff.
Not to mention all of the rando instances that just collect data. I’m sure meta is amongst them.
It's not too hard, I did it via nixos as well. It's actually documented extremely well for nix, I just did some edits to their default configuration so I could deploy it to a VPS without having to ssh in, cause I have to be as extra as possible.
You can basically copy / paste this whole config and just change your domain name and it'll work, the only thing really missing is defining certbot in the configuration. Which auto does all that bullshit for you too as well.

I don’t even know what nixos is but I assume it’s linux.
I have something from the fediverse to add to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m 's post here:
nostr:note1hy7us6sr7ygzrgn973gc6xth3jdfhnanl0sew5k8v70r5f52qtss0pwcha
This positive attitude about building stuff is really great to see on Nostr and it does not exist on the fediverse at all. Since most ActivityPub implementations are heavy it's unreasonable to expect most users to self host. So people tend to gather into communities based on their chosen instance (think: website they are actually using). The different AP implementations really only work together in spite of each other, and there's endless drama about what your chosen AP software says about you, be you a contributor, administrator, or just a user.
For example, here's some hilarious beef I saw today between Mastodon instances. The instance mastodon.art is notorious for blocking an absurd number of instances, to the point where artists looking to get commissioned work should really not post there. They wrote this blog post about how they are defederating from another growing instance because they implemented text based search (for public posts) and a few other less important complaints:

You heard that right. This is about the indexing of publicly available posts. As though it's some kind of terrible harassment tool. Remember that ActivityPub supports followers-only posts and follow approvals. Consider also this instance is for artists, who WANT to be found.
That's just drama between Mastodon instances. When it comes to the other implementations it gets even more insufferable. ActivityPub is a protocol like Nostr, but people building on Nostr actually like each other. Celebrate that.
It’s true, so many ppl on fedi are completely deranged and the censorship may be even worse than Twitter. Fedi also fails at decentralisation given how concentrated users are on the large instances.
Is that difficult? I’ve heard ppl say it’s a nightmare.
Which matrix server do you use tho?
I don’t go anywhere near PPN stuff. But reminder that graf wiped the poast matrix to cover up the pedo stuff after a bunch of kiwis joined.
I say that because someone literally told me that you get invited to super sus pedo rooms if you use their server.
I’d be shocked if this isn’t related to the PPN.
They’re just upset because they’re losing control of the narrative.
It’s lacking the chaos that would actually make it fun imo, it’s actually very homogenous.
Climate “scientists” are so dishonest.
