@0xDUDE I'm embarassingly one of the 259. And it's not a testament to how easy it is to deploy masto tbh.

But very good marketing.

@jonn Cool. Which version are you running? And how do you keep it updated?

@0xDUDE I'm updating the system around it (I assume it runs in Docker) with `apt`. I assume it runs behind nginx reverse proxy to not expose all the vulnerabilities it inevitably has. Masto itself seems to have an OK compatibility thanks to the underlying protocol being reasonably stable.

So yeah, I mostly just hope. If my assumptions are wrong, then it'll be a funny situation to remember, and I'll probably start a clean instance running the #elixir implementation of masto.

@0xDUDE sorry, one more thing security-wise: I treat this server as completely disposable, I assume public access.
