That part of the argument is slightly different. If I understand the press statement correctly, what they are saying is: “Some servers can’t, on a technical level, be hosted by the community”. And that’s not a straw man (arguing against something never asked for), that’s just a lie. We have access to all the same stuff as the industry (AWS etc). Hosting these kinds of servers might be very expensive, but the initiative only asks for a way to keep games alive not for a cheap way (though I would prefer a cheap way of course)

It’s also a strawman argument. Because yes, developers have less to no control over the operation of private servers. Yes, that means they can’t moderate those servers.
But
This initiative only covers games, not supported anymore by the devs anyway. Meaning legally speaking everything happening to private servers would be literally not their concern anymore. And new legislation, should it come to that, would spell that out.

You should try pangolin. It uses Traefik instead of Caddy under the hood but it automates approximately 80 % of setup. It’s what I use for my setup.

One thing you can do: It’s something the campaign has been really bad at. Have some fyers printed up and start handing them out. I don’t know the Italian school schedule, but if universities are still in session they might be good targets.
I did it last year, first at Gamescom and then at a local uni and I think it helped spread the word.

- Comment on I just migrated a community from Lemmy to Piefed using the migration feature, it worked quite well 5 weeks ago:
join.piefed.social/try/ says they are hosted in Europe. I assume they are using Cloudflare only for DDos-protection?

There are “servers” on Matrix. They are called communities
Here is the relevant part of the documentation for that: matrix.org/docs/communities/getting-started/

Öl is German for oil and it is winning most elections as far as I know
- Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs 8 months ago:
It’s a term that goes back to the cold war. There was a strike and the Soviet Union ended it violently by rolling tanks into the city. This put communists all over the world into a bit of a dilemma: on one hand was the working class making their opinion known (a communist value) and on the other the Soviet Union (the good guys).
It was British communists who coined the term “tankie” for those who defended the SUs actions to brand them as “fake communists” who are more interested in identity politics (the good guys did it, therefore it’s OK) than the plight of the working class.
