       I'm seeing lots of interest in spinning up Mastodon servers, and that's awesome!Why not learn from the pros? @aurynn has written an excellent series of posts on cloudisland.nz's architecture:https://eiara.nz/posts/2020/Jun/10/designing-cloud-island/https://eiara.nz/posts/2020/Jun/24/on-planning-infrastructure/https://eiara.nz/posts/2020/Jul/02/openstack-specific-configuration-for-mastodon/

       It's fun to spin up a $5/mo cloud node and try to roll your own, but https://masto.host/ offers plans at the $6/mo price range that will let you focus on using your instance rather than setting it up :) #MastoAdmin

       @ehashman @aurynn Might be worth mentioning other fedi software as well, like Pleroma, Soapbox, Misskey, etc.I find it quite problematic that some Mastodon people act like the fediverse equals Mastodon. It leads to a different form of centralisation where the developers of Mastodon get to have way too much authority and influence.
