Bruno BEAUFILSFed up with my original mastodon instance behaviour and want to really boost federation concept.
Any advice where to migrate?
Should I go for a self hosted one?
Any advice on how to migrate smoothly?

I had the idea to setup esr.social for french researchers #ESR with a Mangane instance (which is more similar to X in terms of UI). That would require a team leader setting up a small team to operate/moderate/advertise this instance, to give trust into it by avoiding a monoadmin user. There are multiple researchers and institutional accounts who could certainly join it and/or give a hand on these topics. But never had enough energy to set this up 🤓

⁉️ Une instance Mastodon dédiée à l'#ESR 🇫🇷 Vos organismes de l'ESR pourraient-ils selon vous accepter de : PS : J'ai déjà contacté l'ARCES : silence total mais sollicitations d'autres mastonautes bienvenues PPS : Quitte à créer une asso loi 1901 pour la gouverner et vérifier la légitimité des comptes #enseignement #recherche [ ] Être sur cette instance et alimenter leur compte [ ] Dédier du personnel de modération [ ] Dédier du personnel DSI à l'administration tech [ ] Fournir l'infra tech d'hébergement et sauvegarde
@beaufils (what is boost federation BTW? 🤔)
Aligning my thoughts & ideas on federation with my use of mastodon.
Being on a *too big* instance breaks the spirit of the whole thing IMHO.
I would appreciate to benefit from experience/expertise of people who had time to study and experiment more than me.
For instance, before migrating to a single hosted instance or a much larger shared one, I would like to list pro and cons of each approach as well as technical requirements (RAM, disk, admin time, etc.).
