Whatever country you are from, think about the most backwards/rural/remote location that has people with backwards and regressive views.

Consider that India likely has 5 to 10x the population of rural folks in small villages that have midevil views compared to your country.

Add in long standing cultural misogynist views that is so pervasive it fully permeates all aspects of government and life and you quickly get to a point where abuse and domestic violence is tolerated.

As per usual, it's not like the entire country shares these views. It's just the the number of backwards views in India is numerically huge because of its population.

This right here. I tried to join Mastodon today.

Download the most recommended app, Moshidon

Open app and get asked which instance i want to join. There are no suggestions.

Do a search for instances and pick one, go to the website and register with email and password. Requires email confirmation. Still waiting on the email confirmation link, 4 hrs later and 2 resends.

Literally haven't been able to sign up yet.

Even if it had worked, the workflow would have been to change back to the app, type out the instance then re-login.

I'm not sure how anyone expects anyone other than the most hardcore to sign up for these services. Maybe that's the point but if the point is to grow the user sign up process to significant overall

Network Switch

The comments here saying to not bother with 10gbe is surprising considering it's the selfhosted community, not a random home networking self help. Dismissing a reasonable request form someone who is building a homelab is not a good way to grow niche communities like this one on the fediverse.

10gbe has come down in price a lot recently but is still more expensive than 1gb of course.
