To be blunt, when we first got the @gofedi site up and running, my main concern was just having a web presence while we migrate SpaceHost customers to our new service.
Because here’s the truth: right before @spacehost shuts down, we hammered out a deal to move instances over so nobody loses their community. And honestly, it would be tragic if all those great servers—including mine—just vanished because #SpaceHost is sunsetting.
However, once the site went live, it immediately got attention—so I decided to lean into it.
So yes, @gofedi exists. It’s here because there should be a fully managed Fediverse host—based in Canada—that gives people choice in both software and service.
And yeah, it’s a little wild that I’m doing this while also co-founding the Federated Video Co-op Initiative.
But god damn it—the best way to grow the Fediverse is to actually get more servers running.
