With each passing day, I grow more & more interested in having my content and conversations under my own control. I already have my own #PeerTube instance. Maybe it's time to spin up my own #Mastodon instance, too? Hate to lose what I've already posted here, but I can always re-post my intro and my pinned stuff, right?

@killyourfm hmm couldn´t you like download a post archive on mastodon? If it allows you to upload them again I wonder if you can set up the same account elsewhere :o

@vancha You're right, you can export all your posts and uploaded media into an ActivityPub file format (not sure what to do with that, but I have it). And it seems quite easy to at the very least retain your followers and the accounts you follow.

@killyourfm That's definitely a great idea.It's something that I've also considered, although I am not very confident about my ability to manage the instance properly.I am curious, though. Will it be just you on your PeerTube and Mastodon instances, or do you plan to make it available to more people over time?

@killyourfm so, before you do that, have you considered what the performance will be? I have seen this one guy who moved to his own instance and posted pictures. It was impossible to get anything older than some days. Maybe investigate that or try with a new account before you move this one.

@snott I suppose I'm more of a digital packrat. Those posts are associated with memories or certain phases in my life, and I like that they exist somewhere. That being said I 100% respect your stance on this.

@Disputatore Good advice. I *assumed* it wouldn't be too taxing with just me as the sole user, but you know what they say about assuming... Maybe I will just spin up the instance and run around with an account for a few days, post some media, follow some folks, and see what happens.

@killyourfm I guess it will depend more on how many people will want to see your content

@ProfessorCode You can always spend X amount of time running the new instance before you migrate your old account info to it. I think that's what I'll do (and as @Disputatore just pointed out, it's wise to also get a sense of the performance impact). Regarding additional users on PeerTube and Mastodon, I'm considering it if I can find a theme (besides just "the Jason show" haha) that makes sense.

@killyourfm @Disputatore Yeah. That's definitely the sensible thing to do when starting out.By the way, if you have "JasonTV", "JasonSocial" and maybe even "JasonGram" (PixelFed), you can probably call it the "JasonVerse". 😂 I apologize for the bad joke. I had to make it. 😃

@killyourfm I don't think it's a good idea, all that management is going to add up and chip away at your free time. Maybe you should cross post your messages to an ActivityPub supported blog platform?

So, I spun up a new #Mastodon instance via Cloudron, created some S3 storage at Wasabi, mounted that bucket to my Ubuntu server, and used that volume for Mastodon storage. Took about an hour. Maybe I *can* handle this? 🤔

@killyourfm Want to fly solo or host others? Those are two wildly different propositions :)

@trezzer I think I want to fly solo for now. Setting it up I can handle. Spending time moderating/administrating other users? Ehhhhhhhh

@killyourfm are there no costs involved? Other than your time, I mean.

@Disputatore I'm paying about $30/month to run PeerTube and Mastodon, and that's fine with me.

@killyourfm You can download what you've posted in your old instance. I don't think you can upload it into your new instance but that doesn't mean that will never be possible

@killyourfm I’m hoping the Mastodon project soon adds the capability of transferring all posts.

@emarktaylor Very true! I've got the archive now, so I'll clutch it tight until that functionality appears.

@fmo I could only guess right now, but @micah has an incredibly detailed blog post about his personal experience running a single-user Mastodon instance: https://www.micahwalter.com/how-much-ive-spent-so-far-running-my-own-mastodon-server-on-aws/

@killyourfmI mean, you could query the API for a copy of your content (let me know if I shall share a Python repo for this) and populate your database with it.But you would loose the links to layer8.space.

@mosgaard It lives here: https://video.midreality.com (not too pretty yet, but a couple videos to watch). And I'm hosting it via Linode using Cloudron.
