@mikeylikestech @shunley42 Oh yeah, absolutely. And as a Certified Internet Person, assuming Mastodon catches on I think I will spin up my own private server and post from there.

And to be honest, I think that possibility alone makes Mastodon a pretty powerful idea.

@TechConnectify @[email protected] @shunley42 I think instances should be completely invisible to the user unless they really go digging, otherwise a ton of people and orgs who just want to post basketball game schedule updates/irl community meeting notes are completely turned off. I think it should be more like TOR, where people run endpoints because they support the mission at large rather than a particular interest/topic.

@WoodgrainSkin @TechConnectify @mikeylikestech @shunley42 i think the issue here would be moderation. instances create variety in terms of what is acceptable, so everyone can find a home of sorts. if an instance becomes too big it can be bad. what you describe is functionally one big instance, which creates moderation challenges

If you do ever decide to do so, feel free to ask me for help. It is more complicated then it might seem.
