Best way to run an instance for cheap is on your own hardware, but I would only do that if you are experienced with self hosting since it would require port forwarding (unsecure if done wrong)

There is !fedia@fedia.io but that place seems inactive. I couldn’t find a status page listed in their sidebar. When I was looking around it was very slow so it isn’t just a problem with you

iirc, atprotocol was made to bring some features of mainstream social media to the fediverse that activitypub maintainer have said they won’t be adding. They explain other reasons in their faq

*some of which don’t even know what tumblr is

Depends on the writer, chances are that those in the bbc who are involved with the mastodon instance are the nerds (like us) and the writer of this article doesn’t know as much and is just listing the places the MPs went, and they are politicians so they wouldn’t know about the “nerdy options”

Don’t attack the messenger, this is threads/meta being evil not @marcus_inferno@lemmy.world

Cake day on my lemmy.world account is in 11 days. Happy cake day to all that migrated!

I’ve watched the video. The conclusion is that some people the video creator knows found the site’s operator’s discord, which can be used to identify him if the investigation goes to court.
