I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).
Ellipse will do fine. While I admire your willingness to connect you account to you real identity, I enjoy the anonymity (or pseudonymity) internet provides. Have a good rest of the day Sebastian!
The good thing is you can have both right? I can be the public me on this account and enjoy the perks of that, which include a sense of legitimacy, vulnerability and that I have something at stake when I stick my neck out. Then I can start the VPN, log on to a completely different account and be the private me. Though these days I find that less and less appealing. The ability to do so I will defend, and I don’t blame anyone who wishes to be anonymous for no particular reason. But to me it’s a lot of work for no, to me, tangible gain.
