I’ve been banned from reddit, lemmy, and now piefed for posting ai generated content with a bot. I want to have a platform where I can send all the automated ai generated content I want, and do self promotion. What’s the simplest, cheapest way to have a platform like that? I would like to complain about internet censorship due to surveillance capitalism, but it would be disingenuous when every corner of the internet does the same thing.


You could host your own Lemmy instance. Other instances could defederate from you, but they couldn’t stop you from posting whatever you wanted on your own instance.
Any option to prevent others from taking something you want to post online down is going to require you to run or host it yourself. But then you’re still beholden to the DNS company, hosting company, and the payment processor for how you pay for it all.
There are apparently ways to pay for your hosting through anonymous crypto, and ways to route the connection between your hardware and the open Internet in private ways, and even private DNS services.
Ultimately, this all depends on what your risk profile is, how what you want to post runs foul of the rules elsewhere, how much you’re willing to spend on this, etc.
You could look into the tech stack and services other controversial sites are relying on, like what PirateBay or 4chan use.
“How private?” “How censorship resistant?”
