       @quillmatiq@mastodon.social @wjmaggos@liberal.city Reminds me of when the admin of Mastodon.online I think shutdown the service after having a bad day. I run my own instance because I don't want to deal with that risk and losing my post history or similar. Plus the whole de-centralized nature of the federated universe doesn't really exist if only a handful of people are able to run an instance.

       @wjmaggos@liberal.city @quillmatiq@mastodon.social That sounds reasonable! I built a lightweight AP server that mostly works Yet it's far from perfect, iit s buggy but in early dev stages, and at a minimum the setup still requires downloading a GitHub Repo, running a PowerShell script from someone you don't know or trust, buying a domain name, giving your payment details to a cloud provider, and the risks that centralized cloud providers pose to online privacy.
