The Democrats of the past decade are the Washington Generals to the Republicans’ Globetrotters. They only exist to give the illusion of opposition. They get dunked on and then collect their paychecks.
I ran mine for a bit and it’s a resource hog, fragile, and images are a constant problem because the cache just keeps growing and growing so either you keep a limited timeframe of user images or you pay for storage elsewhere.
I was the only user so I didn’t have to deal with moderation, but what finally spooked me was the possibility of someone posting something illegal and it propagating over to my server. That was why I stopped hosting my Lemmy server, too.
Dead simple and has worked for me for years, now.
