       @xarvos tbh i did consider that – exactly because self-hosting seemed easier than picking an instance (and i did end up picking wrong and having to self host a couple months later anyway)

       @xarvos counter.social, where I didn't realize it was a weird walled garden.

       @xarvos @Em0nM4stodon 💨 Haha. It is a nice reminder that the limitations on polls that I'm accustomed to on Mastodon are largely arbitrary.When we get a notification in 12 months, a lot of us are going to go "Huh, I don't remember answering this poll, at all" 🤣

       @xarvos i chose that option, but tbh, it wasn't me doing the hosting at the time. this was when i was first getting into IT, and some people i knew wanted to do some project together. they were already on diaspora and knew gnu social, and mastodon was now getting a lot of attention in tech blogs and such. so it was decided that setting up this new software could be a fun project to work together on something, and i decided to join since i wanted to get into IT more. i had an account on diaspora first, but from my pov those have mostly been separate networks (even if there's software connecting to both), so i'm not counting that. although if one really wants to nitpick, i first made an account on another masto instance just to see federation work from that instance to the one we had set up. but besides sending some message to someone as a test, i don't thing i ever used that account again.

       @xarvos Was literally the reason why I joined.I thought about just trying it and later moving to my own setup, but then joining just didn’t seem as appealing :neobot_laugh_sweat: So this instance has now existed since december 2022. Top 2 things I run for myself :3
