So @[email protected] just spun up a @Mastodon instance. I talk about why we're doing it, and (the fun bit) how we did it. Because it's running on a Pi in the Sky☁️ on a #RaspberryPi 4 with #IPv6 only networking hosted at @beasts. #RaspberryPi is now part of the #TwitterMigration. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/an-escape-pod-was-jettisoned-during-the-fighting/

Now @[email protected] has its own @Mastodon instance, and because we’re committed to supporting platforms that support us, we’re putting our money where our mouth is. We have become a platinum sponsor of #Mastodon. In case you don't know Mastodon is a non-profit corporation based in Germany supported by both its sponsors and patreons. #TwitterMigration https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors

@aallan @Raspberry_Pi @Mastodon that's awesome! But is your instance actually running on a Raspberry Pi? 😜​

@lkarlslund @aallan @Raspberry_Pi @Mastodon There actually was (and still is, because most of those are still working) a Raspberry PI server hoster: edis.at :)

@bboett So @[email protected] only joined @Mastodon today. I’m not sure how much sooner you’d expect us to start supporting them? 🤔

Welcome! I'm more than happy to see actions being taken and putting money on your mouth.

@aallan @[email protected] @Mastodon are you actually hosting it on a Raspberrypi or a PiCluster?
Show threadminecraftchest1Nov 9, 2022

@aallan @Raspberry_Pi

Would you consider also doing something similar with the likes of @matrix #matrix or @joinpeertube #peertube?

Anyways, love to see this. I am also glad you are spreading out the fediverse by hosting your own server instead of creating an account on an existing instance.
