I'm guessing you can do it for cheaper to start out. Last I heard they have two servers for reasons, and have moved around a couple times for security and DDoS attack defense.

" What if there were a bunch of SaidIt clones? What if we could post and read between them fairly easily where it's appropriate? "

It sounds like you mean decentralized and federated. SaidIt and /u/go1dfish of NotABug.io are working on that, or maybe they're already federated, according to the List of Active Saidit Alternatives 2.0 in /s/SaiditAlternatives. I know both are old-Reddit open-source forks, but I have no idea how similar or different they are.

/u/magnora7 may answer but /u/d3rr may be busy for a while, but now this comment is in their messages too, so they'll get to your query eventually.

I don't know if you might find anything useful in /s/DecentralizeAllThings/, but you might in /s/DecentralizeAllThings/wiki/. If you do set an instance up it would be nice of you to make notes and share them, perhaps on a wiki page for future reference and folks to contribute to.

You might also like to keep up on SaidIt subs with this multisub that you can copy to your own profile and customize: /u/JasonCarswell/m/saidit_saidit

Thank you for the reply!

Thank you for the reminder that notes are helpful for others too. I guess it's a kind of trail that others can follow more easily afterwards, even if it isn't the only way.
