@b0rk Superb writeup, thanks for sharing! Like @stefan , first time I hear about instances blocking one-person servers... hope it's not widespread.

All the pain points are very accurate. I got used to "open in original site" but it's cumbersome and annoying. And I think this affects all small instances, not only one-person ones. I wish @elk did something about it, or other apps different from Mastodon, like @takahe , were more popular.
