@tobyx I bet you'd be welcome here, if a smol wittle instance with a stricter blocklist policy than .social appeals to you. I know @mejofi has been looking for people beyond our immediate circle to invite.

@sindarina @mejofi If you are any indication, I think I would be compatible with the rules. Will have a look :D

I hugely appreciate the mass appeal of mastodon dot social but it would be nice to have a home away from the masses that plays into federation and quite frankly also immediately tells something about you.

I also need to throw some money at whoever is shouldering the infrastructure and admin cost.

@tobyx @sindarina You're welcome to maintain both, if you like, there's no requirement to actually move right away or anything.

Will start charging those who can afford it, eventually, but right now setting up the whole payment workflow is more work than we'd get in revenue, so it's been on the backburner.

An old building, like something a state-owned telco would have built in a previous century, yet surprisingly well-maintained. It has no windows at street level, and requires a keycard to enter.

@tobyx and here’s me looking at whether self hosting is a good idea.

That being said, we’re a nice chill bunch on my instance, we’d be lucky to have you.
