Mastohost @mastohost is taking on new accounts again. You can get your own Mastodon server for $6 a month! The great thing about it is they take care of the software, you do not need to be technical to run a server.

Mastohost is where sauropods.win is hosted, and I can recommend them. Support is top-notch, and it's all been smooth sailing.

Just be aware that you're bound by rhe same rules as other social networks which means you're responsible for handling takedown notices of copywrited materials and reporting underaged pornographic images, etc. I wouldn't host one honestly.

@theRealKanuk @mastohost yeah, but I don’t think this is a real problem if you invite your own crowd.

@john @theRealKanuk @mastohost exactly what I was thinking. Like for family or other small groups.

😆 Keep your guests on a tight leach. Many years ago my then young daughter set up a server for sharing songs without realizing it. Fortunately I found out and nixed it. Even people close to you can commit a violation of some kind without realizing it.

@theRealKanuk @john @mastohost I'm thinking more about introducing them to Mastodon or other fediverse apps, ease the learning resistance, and give them alternatives to the popular social networks like Facebook. Specially because I deleted mine years ago. It could also be used by small organizations or programs as opposed to use Facebook for anything.
