Okay, so looks like the instance I'm on hasn't been handling misuse well and is going to get defederated from some other servers. Soooo, what instance do y'all think I should move to? And is there any history/experience of anyone with this size a network migrating instances that I could learn from?

Is there a service that will host a single Mastodon account for me (not an entire instance) but let me alias it to my own domain? I don't want to run an instance, but I would like to control my address/handle.

Increasingly looking like the current state of affairs will require me to have my own fediverse server. (I'm not attached to it being Mastodon, necessarily.) It seems like masto.host is the most-recommended managed hosting provider, but I'm open to other suggestions. I am _not_ going to manage yet another server myself.

@anildash I'm a single user instance with masto.host doing most of the work.Discovery (of you and others) is definitely slower but it does happen. Admin is really simple, you could almost do nothing as the updates and server stuff is done by the hoster.

@anildash I can tell you, as someone who hosts a solo instance, that it's not that hard.

@evan @anildash Is it lonely, though? My solo instance was such a bummer to be on that I started Friend Camp specifically because I was tired of flying solo and having no local timeline

@anildash Theoretically I host a family instance, but nobody else in my household is using it yet.

@evan @anildash (and truly I wonder is it lonely, especially these days with a lot more people here)

@darius @evan @anildash I have to make a bit of an active effort to find and follow new people from time to time, but I don't find it lonely

@anildash also, I am very sorry to blast your mentions with a whole thread of people, including me, telling you to do the thing that you said you don't want to do. Classic IRC advice!
