Yeah, could do without the straw man arguments and deflective non-answers.

Is there a newbie guide written up already somewhere? This is exactly the sort of things it needs, which should be linked to new signups.

Are there any published guidelines on the server requirements for an instance? I have my own instance running, seems to be working fine. But I’m reluctant to open it publically without an idea of if I’m setting myself up for failure or not.

Related, is there a way to entirely disable image uploads to my instance? I’m ok with it being a “reader” instance, but don’t want to be hosting content directly.
