RE: https://mstdn.games/@britt/116013094706931728

So, I helped Britt out with moving her instance to a new server provider this week.

While the people at toot.io were relatively helpful in our email chain (once she was finally able to get a hold of them in the first place anyways), the setup at toot.io was a bit strange and not optimized for an instance of her size. The actual server itself was well *over*powered for her to be seeing the slowdowns she was, and Mastodon & especially Postgres just weren’t using those resources to a full extent.

Honestly the biggest red flag 🚩🚩🚩 to me isn’t what toot.io is doing now necessarily, but that it was apparently sold(?) to completely new management without notice to customers. In a niche service industry like this, that seems like a big problem to me, to not even explain who’s taking over and why you should trust them.

The previous ownership is probably more at fault for this relatively speaking, but it’s probably a good opportunity for toot.io customers to reevaluate their hosting options… Even if you ultimately end up sticking with toot.io, you simply might not be fully aware of what’s going on over at your own hosting company anymore, and that’s always worth double-checking 👀

Yay, thanks to @jan being lovely and not shying away from the headache of hosting a forked Mastodon, my instance how has an increased character limit.

This was one of my main bugbears and is going to improve my life. Not having to freaking edit something to squeeze in that one extra character? Yes, please.

If you want Jan to host your own Mastodon instance (maybe an instance for one, just you?), see https://toot.io/mastodon_hosting.html

OK then. After about 48 hours trying to figure out the nuances of running my own #Mastodon instance, I am wholeheartedly ready to give someone like @jan at #TootIO my money to do it for me😅.

PeerTube I can handle. Mastodon is just out of my depth, and that's OK.

toot.io is down. i feel so naked having no access to my main.

the cool thing is i can still see all of my posts. the bad thing is. they mock me.

anyone else waiting to get back in?

Does anyone here have any experience with using toot.io as a managed #Mastodon hosting company? I have to set up a server for a non-profit org. Any feedback is helpful. Thanks!
