       How do people feel about single-user instances?With federation people already interact across domains, so are single-user instances just a natural and good progression? Or do they fail on a social level? Perhaps you can't be part of a community if you're not *in* that community? Do you trust someone more if they're on your instance? And do single-user instances fail discoverability, or are boosts and the federated timeline enough to avoid isolation?

       @simonschreibt I think the admin(s) of whatever instance the other person is on will also be able to read any PMs so I don't think it adds much extra privacy in that way.I kind of like the idea of a single-user instance on my own domain for the same reason I like the idea of using an email address on my own domain: It would avoid tying my (fedi) identity to some other entity. Plus shared instances do sometimes shut down.(But here I am on gamedev.place, so idk)

       I wonder how much @aras is paying to provide this Mastodon instance?The front page shows ~8K registered users (and increasing kinda rapidly btw), and ~3K monthly-active. Masto.host pricing lists its most expensive non-custom tier at $89/month (+tax!) and that only claims "2000 Active Users (estimated)". Not that "active users" on the instance is necessarily the most relevant factor.

       Is brands.town real?I mean, are the brand accounts on there actually run by relevant people in those companies, with organisational backing?

       @lashman @Jo Thanks for confirming... I wasn't sure if my "something's fucky" sensor was broken, and I hadn't read through enough posts to be sure.

       @jacqueline did you know that only recently mathematicians discovered that it's possible to make aperiodic tiling window managers, where the windows are all the same shape but they never repeat!?

       @futurebird I know nothing, but Wikipedia informs me that there is a clade called Bilateria, and it's believed to have a common ancestor.Not sure about when sense organs forming a face came in, but bilateria have a front/head end.I guess once you've got a symmetric body plan then when you develop eyes you're likely to do it on your head?

       @futurebird what features/functionality do you need, and what level of support or service level agreement do you need?
