@da_667 @jerry I feel kind of bad, I think I kind of told the people to come. I wish I had enough money to pay him what I owe right now.
@hacks4pancakes @da_667 I am good on money. I think we can scale to perhaps 200k users now.
@jerry @da_667 okay, I just worry. I didn’t mean to drop an anvil on you like Saturday morning cartoons
@hacks4pancakes @da_667 I am gong to tell you (and 6m friends) a secret. I’ve been a CISO at $megacorp and my days are spent flattening the folds of my brain in 14 hours of Webexes every day. This has been the most exciting, most fun thing I’ve done it years.

@jerry @hacks4pancakes @da_667 thank you Jerry, I’ve been investigating standing up an instance for my own little playground and it’s … a lot :)

You’re making nearly 20k peoples lives better!

@Adman @jerry @hacks4pancakes @da_667 I am still not clear on the benefit of having a personal instance for a single user. There would be no local feed other than your own toots?

So you would only have your federated feed to see other toots, so may need to follow more people?

@JefTek @Adman @jerry @hacks4pancakes @da_667 I was curious about that as well, so I created this account on my own server and another one on hachyderm. I think the tradeoff is mostly opt-in vs. opt-out. On hachyderm it's easier to scroll for passive content, but on this account, my feed is created with more interaction and buy-in from myself.
