Alrighty, testing out this shiny new #gotosocial instance. For now, I've migrated by @afterdark account here and will be using this alongside my "main" @shellsharks account. I've heard great things about GTS and I've desperately wanted a fedi presence that has a text box that can handle more than 500 characters at a time. In time, if I find this to be a suitable alternative to my beloved Mastodon experience, I may migrate my main account here as well.

This may end up coinciding with my favorite fedi client, #Ivory's plan to support GTS in their next release.

And look at that, I'm already past 500 chars and I can just keep on typin'. Glorious. So continuing...

On Hosting

This instance is hosted by #knthost, who I've used to host my #castopod instance and have enjoyed their prompt and reliable service. They have a GTS offering (duh) which I would invite others to check out if they've been considering having their own li'l fedi home https://www.knthost.com/gotosocial. It starts at under $4/mo which is pretty stellar. How well that scales for larger accounts we'll see. But they make it pretty easy to scale up as needed and since I've been paying #mastohost 19/mo for a year now, I've got quite a bit of room to beef things up and still stay under what I've been paying. I still think #mastohost is great, and would highly recommend them for anyone who wants a vanilla masto experience with top notch support and stability 👍

Why GoToSocial?

Honestly, I had a lot of choices, I considered Akkoma+Mangane, Sharkey, Glitch Masto, and others... Maybe I'll end up at one of those some day. But for now, I wanted to try this first. GTS is very actively developed, seems to be very resource "mindful", has plenty of customizability and has fast became a go-to platform for small or single-user instances like this one.

Yep, I bought another domain. This one is silly, but the subdomain possibilities are pretty endless. https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordfinder/classic/ends/all/-1/ous/1
