Anyone have experience using #Snac2 for a small activitypub instance? Currently I use #gotosocial which is great but I'm curious about other options. Running a second instance with a different domain for friends or a second account is appealing to me.

@beachcomber#snac is as setup-and-forget as can be, but ActivityPub is a very chatty protocol so there's no silver bullet:
snac does not cache remote media at all while GTS defaults to 7 days, but you can tune it down to save disk space
snac uses the filesystem as the database, which means a lot of small files and symbolic links. If you want to be disk-efficient, you want to store the snac folder on a filesystem with a small block size. Compression might help since it's json.

If it thinks you're doing something egregiously immoral, for example, like faking data in a pharmaceutical trial, it will use command-line tools to contact the press, contact regulators, try to lock you out of the relevant systems, or all of the above.
@servo pausing my financial contributions to Servo until the AI contribution discussion is definitely settled. I will not support projects that are built with AI slop.
I encourage you to seriously evaluate whether this person's contributions are valuable enough to warrant burning so much community goodwill.
