Since EH is getting DDOSed it is finally time to tell you that you should enrich the fediverse by making your own instance.
Requirements:
- Spare computer or an old android phone
- Domain
Things that might be useful:
- Static IP
- Ability to port forward
- Ability to use navigate trough the terminal on Linux
If you can use linux just follow the instructions here. If you can’t use it I can help you set it up or directly set it up for you.
Edit: yes, I do have my own instance, but since there was a XSS vulnerability recently and I cannot update it, I am not running it
Njal.la is probably your best bet for domains. After that comes everything that accepts crypto and offers whois privacy.
As far as server rental go there was a list on dread in the “dark web” for anonymous and tor friendly vps providers.
