MODERATORS
 

Hello, is there any social media on this planet that does not ban people for things that are completely legal in all of the European legal systems?

Or is the fediverse the best choice because even though if moderators guide public opinion on the mainstream instances, people can still go to a smaller instance for refuge.

How complex is this? And how much does it cost per month to host your own instance?

Not overly hard if you can work a Linux cli.

As for costs, will that depends on how many users, what hardware you run it on, and the yearly domain.

Several instances are on single circuit board PC's like Raspberry Pi with an attached USB HDD.

You should definitely be working in IT at least. Don't forget that you are responsible for personal data from your users.

Price-wise it's not that expensive to host a Lemmy instance. A few hundred users cost you 20 to 30 euros a month.
