You could use a script to automate editing the hostfile on windows or /etc/hosts on Linux. If you define a section in the file with comments, the script should just replace the relevant entries for the project inside the section, and leave the rest alone. You can have multiple sections and multiple scripts that can coexist. Works well for my work project. It's included in a general setup script which can be run as often as needed to keep stuff like this updated on our local machines.

Pretty interesting! At some point, developers an admins of federated services need to carefully consider the GDPR and how to comply efficiently. This jives well with the concept of "don't store data for longer than absolutely necessary". There is a risk that it will lead to broken or crippled conversations as they get older. I do agree that an instance shouldn't try to act as an archive of all data. But there is sometimes great value in keeping these - both for historical and practical reasons. Maybe the data could be anonymized somehow, instead of deleted? But that would require manual review of the data, to ensure correct anonymization.
Maybe you could mark certain threads as " important" and only these would require manual review, the rest of the users data would be deleted.
Just some quick thoughts
Right I didn't think about that. if they create a bunch of legal entities in EU which runs the instances, it might be harder to get GDPR enforced properly, but in the end they still have to abide by it, legally.
True, and now that I think about it, even if some meta instances are located in the EU, they would still ultimately be controlled by a US company. I believe this still cause a conflict with GDPR, because US laws do not guarantee the same rights as GDPR.
On mobile I use Etar calendar app from f-droid, and DavX to synchronise calendar data. I use syncthing, but not for calendar sync, since the caldav protocol is designed for exactly that. But on the back end, if you want to host your own calendar, I recommend Radicale. It stores its data in simple text files, and works well with syncthing. Radicale.org
Thanks for sharing these thoughts. I think that moderation policy and execution is mostly what shapes a community. Happy to hear that you are taking such a thoughtful approach.
My impression is that they pioneered the reusable rocket concept and greatly reduced the price per kg. for sending material into orbit.
However, I personally think they did that despite having Elon, not because of.
The cat and Mouse games between blockers and anti-blockers begins.
I've been using adblocker on YouTube for years, but tried to turn it off yesterday as an experiment. Multiple, 40 sec to 60 sec ads on the first video. I knew it was bad, but that still surprised me.
How does anybody live with that level of annoyance?
I can recommend newpipe for android, as an ad free YouTube viewer.

Ooh, can't wait. The first was a good theatre experience!
After lurking on reddit for years, without even having an account, it's hard to break the habit and start commenting. I agree that there are not many discussions right now, but that is likely due to the smaller number of users.
But I will try to engage more on posts, because I also want this community to be interesting and alive :)
Truth be told, I never even considered posting links to something - the lurking mindset is still pretty strong.

Thanks for the nudge, I wrote to the EU registry.
