The only permanent platform on the internet is usenet.
Hopefully Lemmy matures into something beautiful, but if not, usenet will always be there!

it’s not a problem there
It is, because my wife is an avid Tok user and complains about it, and reports it, frequently. She also says there are many animal videos that are "unsettling" but not outright abuse.
Apologies: Answered too quickly and missed out the homepage requirement. I'll leave my answer up anyhow.
Webmin has a fail2ban status page, it's also pretty useful for creating/maintaining your existing jails.
I don't use Tiktok but I gather that this is a big problem over there as well, so it sounds like Twitter is working just as well as the site it's riffing off.
I can't point to any decent resources, but in your shoes I'd probably download a Debian based distro that's similar to what you used on your pi's (Ubuntu server or Debian itself), learn how to use docker (see the other post where a user is asking about containerisation today for community responses) and set up a reverse proxy like Caddy to safely host your content on your lan and once you've got it working on there then think about internet access and whether you want to go down the VPS/Cloudfront route for public access to your goodies.
Given how Plex is trying to diversify away from self hosted content, give Jellyfin a spin - it's surprisingly good and supported by anything with a browser, iOS, android, firestick, kodi or whatever!
Until you've given it a go it's hard to recognise just how much a containerised solution simplifies things. There is a bit of a learning curve to get your first few deployments done, but once you have it all set up it's like magic, you can test other software out quickly and tear it down easily if you don't like it, and you can update most software on your host without worrying about breaking compatibility or stopping any users from using your services. Then when you chain in an autoupdate system like watchtower it's even more magical!
Some definitely have a legitimate fear - incorrectly linking their closed source app with a GPL 3 project can put them in a place where they need to disclose their source to an end user. Some people refer to GPL as "poisonous" for this reason.
The RHEL issue one is definitely an interesting beast, though. It will either improve their sales or piss off enough people in the community into not maintaining RHEL support and telling their large customers that RH/IBM are no longer trustworthy. This could be Oracle's time to actually give something back to the community and shepherd a new 'open' enterprise standard distribution, but given their track history....
