Just for you guys 😘

Yeah but not from you.

You literally think this is a Nazi instance. So no thanks.

Debian Unstable

So basically as stable as Windows can get

I'm the only admin atm. Currently it's not a lot of work. But if it's growing I'll get more admins onto the team.

There are already a few mods in the country specific communities. Join our mod team if you have some spare time!

If I'd be forced to drop it, I'd know people who could potentially take it over.

based in Europe

Yup. Hetzner in Germany to be precise.

has decent privacy

Will I ever spy on you or sell your data? No. I'm a big proponent of the GDPR and will do everything I can to comply fully. That said, if you want perfect privacy, you’d need to host your own instance.

isn’t de-federated from too much content

Only instances that are clearly malicious, such as those dedicated to spam, trolling, misinformation, or illegal content (including Holocaust denial and Nazism) will be completely blocked once discovered. No defederation happens because of politics or moderation choices.

and has some resilience

Hetzner is a pretty reliable hosting provider. Running this instance currently costs me about €20 per month. As long as costs remain reasonable, I plan to keep it going. It’s my way of supporting the Fediverse and promoting better social media and a better society. :)

Perfect :)

I think I was able to restore your account. Can you try to log in?

europe.pub

This isn't possible, unfortunately. I suppose I could do it in the database directly, but I fear that this could mess up federation, since your user probably already got federated with other servers. Can you choose another one?

I don't think so. I may be too optimistic but I think that MAGA will die with Trump.

Honestly, why does anyone still care about Biden??

What’s your stance towards the lefty instances (ml, lemmygrad, hexbear)?

I'm fine with them as long it's legal stuff. I'm pretty far left myself (although no tankie).

What does pub mean or stand for? Public? Pub as in the beer drinking place?

Like the pub yeah. Basically where people come together. I thought it was a cool name.

Is europe.pub affiliated with the pubeurope mastodon instance?

No.

Finally a use case for it

What’s your federation/defederation policy?

Instances that tolerate bot spam and illegal stuff get blocked. However, that was rearly the case up until this point.

In what country is the server physically hosted?

Germany (Hetzner)

Are you the only moderator of the instance?

Moderator no. Admin yes. But I have a backup person in the background in case that I'm not able to manage the instance anymore, temporarily.
