Hosting for a public interest Fediverse PeerTube project
The rules deprecate deletion of a post. I trust that I'll be forgiven for doing so under the circumstances.
I received two comments shortly after posting. As I explained in the post, this was my attempt to delurk in a community where I'd lurked for years. More than 5 years, actually. I introduced myself, explained that I was autistic and therefore detailed, offered a story related to a host, Zynoo, that might have helped others here, listed some specs, and asked for help in finding a host. Further, the post wasn't anonymous. That is supposed to be positive.
All of that is good here, right?
It didn't help that the first response was that people here needed to be, quote, "saved" from a tidal wave of details. Or that the second person offered greetings to his new, quote, "insane", friend. Yes, he said "slightly" and it was a joke. But consider that when you do that to people, sometimes they've had to listen to it for 60 to 70 years. I suppose that that wouldn't occur to people in their 20s.
I gather that posts can't be edited after one hour. So, I need to delete mine or it'll stay here and there will be more of the same.
I think that I could have contributed here. I have been online since 1973. I was here before Usenet. I was a senior developer since before 95% of you were even born. I have more experience as well with Linux, assemblage of custom OSes, getting non-standard setups to boot on dedis and VPSes, actual anonymity, what to look for in hosts, what the government actually does to track you, and other LEB topics than most of you do, regardless of age.
It isn't a boast. I'm not likely to live that long and I wanted to pass some it on. But I need a community of adults. I think, for me, that now means the over-40s. The ones who are starting to feel old.
I'll be exiting, now. I don't think that I'll send any more people here. One suggestion for the rules is that civility is optional, but perhaps don't jump on new people right in their first thread.

Well, i actually skim-read most of it.
@OP: Welcome my new marginally insane friend!
Edit: Maybe something in the direction of https://1984.hosting/ would be a good match for your project. It's pretty expensive though. Maybe if you contact them they could get you some kind of custom deal?

If you got the money https://orangewebsite.com/hosting/green-dedicated-servers might have some free speech dedi right out of the box. Unlike 1984 i haven't seen any documentation of them actually going to court for their clients content though.
Yeah, providers willing to fight usually let their clients pay for it. That's the catch with budget offers. Their margins are so thin that a the moment they'll be forced to do much of anything out of the ordinary they'll start losing money. That's where funky stuff like disallowing sensitive material comes from. It's the providers exit plan if the client isn't being lucrative for them.
Chances are it's going to be like that but asking doesn't cost anything and who knows maybe they like your project? There's a bit of dedication behind the company after all.
It sounds like you banned yourself from Zynoo. Just be normal and don't move until you actually run into issues.
