Welp. Isn't it obvious? The smaller one for your pee and the bigger one for your brown colored dump

Now? It didn't work before? Lol

There's a reason why plants are called complex interconnected organisms. If you put salt on the soil where that tree is growing, it also might reach to other plants in the area and kill them as well.

Live CDs are mostly about 1gb in size. Get a 4gb+ thumb drive just to be safe.

Yeah well, I don't know either. The thumbnails are what 6 year olds would find interesting and it's mostly just "Do X to win Y dollars"

iirc the limit for the post body is about 50k characters

Yes. That would be the same as a persistent USB drive. Just plug in the external drive, run the live CD installed in your USB drive and install Linux Mint on the external drive instead.

Making money

Absolutely.

I'll self host my own forgejo instance soon.

ActivityPub is a protocol for decentralized platforms to talk to each other. What you want contradicts with what the protocol was designed for. This pretty much means you are just looking for another centralized social media platform, in that case the Fediverse is clearly not for you. Please go back to Reddit or Twitter or whatever and never look back.

lemmy.world is already the biggest instance, why direct people there? It wouldn't be any different than a centralized platform (Reddit) if all the newcomers register there. Direct them to other instances instead.

Some instances have some questionable admins and some communities questionable mods but generally better than reddit.
