@noorul I'm not willing to dedicate as much effort to host a single-user instance (reasonably quick updates, SLA, etc). I also think Mastodon is too complicated of a piece of software for that use case. It might be fine for "bigger" instances, or if you share the workload. Pleroma looked better but wasn't fitting for me.It might be a bit better if there was some decoupling of "identity" and "instance", like with email - I can just move providers at will. Not (easily) doable with this.

@wink To get separate identity, one way to get own domain name and instance.I recently have Mastodon and Pleroma instance on cloud hosting and I am trying to have Pleroma on home server.

@wink Agree to the points related to Mastodon.Curious why Pleroma doesnt suit

@noorul Yeah, what I meant with the identity is. "I can move on without loss of history, as with email."Of course I self-hosted with my own domain (which I still have), but it didn't feel good.I mean, of course I'm now on just some random big instance and might lose this, but as of right now it's absolutely worth the tradeoff of not having to babysit my instance.Maybe again in the future, or if I decide to go full-in on the fediverse :)

@wink Acceptable excuses.Babysitting the instance (single user) scares me.Hope Pleroma is easy handling
