Self-host an instance with no karma and no mods.

Well known software built using Matrix. A lot of people have been following this project.

Lemmy.ca is the best. Large local instance, great uptime, good admins.

Syncthing will also work with Nextcloud.

The instances get overloaded quickly and the IPs blocked by google/Microsoft/etc… Better off self-hosting.

Two subreddits that I check on occasion for information/memes, both of which I’m hoping will eventually gain traction here. I don’t have an account though.

Well I guess my personal definition of backup is wrong.

Sounds like pedantry to me.

Photos, videos, music, documents, etc… are available on multiple devices using SyncThing.

Probably the shift6, oneplus6 (or 6t), or librem 5.

Oneplus6 + postmarketos

It works really, really well.
