So uh, apparently $288/year is not enough to run a Mastodon service for ~3 users, and this is a known issue (https://masto.host/mastodon-content-retention-settings/) with no solution (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/19260)?!

I just want to own my identity. On Bluesky, it takes a TXT record and a did:plc rotation key. A PDS takes like $25/yr. For $300/yr you can run a whole-network relay.

Also, it's unclear if I can move to non-Mastodon software without losing all my posts, despite owning the domain??

And this ecosystem sneers at atproto?

@filippo you surely know more than me on the topic, but I hear people saying that it is not even possible to migrate the same domain to another software due to the crypto keys. any migration leaves your posts behind.
