  • Haha! Well it’s 1TB for local storage which for all intents and purposes is unlimited. As if Reddthat’s database grows to more than that all of the bigger instances will probably be 10x that size!.

    For our object storage we’ve already grown to 2TB of images and videos so even if we had purchased this when we started and didn’t use an object storage we would have already surpassed it greatly!


  • Thanks! And technically yes, but if/when we move to the dedicated server we will have a lot more processing power and resources available.
    If I also spun up the piefed instance, I’d be getting more admins and maybe asking people if they wanted to admin on it as well to help me.
    To alleviate the possible problems with moderation I was thinking that if I made it paid only/yearly subscription the cross section of people who would actually want to pay and who want a piefed instance would be very small. I’m thinking $5/m. (Or whatever your local coffee amount is).

    I was thinking of making it paid because if people end up posting images and videos it gets costly fast. Even now we are on a very cheap plan with our storage but it slowly is ever increasing and in 3 years I expect it to the same as our server bills.
    This could be the semi-paid version of Reddthat and to ensure that we would stay online for as long as possible.

    These are ideas that I’ve been toying with in my head.




































  • You can block instances yourself. Check your Settings then click the Block tab, then enter in the domain under Block Instance.

    Defederating has wider ramifications and just because there are a few bad users or opinions people don’t like doesn’t mean that everyone should be blocking them.

    We have a few of those users too who regularly get into fights or who might be classed as mean, so if that’s the case then we would be blocked too.

    Standards that one server has cannot be enforced by another server.

    Also no dog-piling onto this thread which I’ll be locking if it happens.
