Out of curiosity- what instances are y’all on - and why? What are the pros and cons of the various instances you have chosen?

@Paulatics I run my own Mastodon server.

The pros are that I have more control over my social media experience, I get to experiment a bit (I've brought down my server once or twice), and I'm unaffected by moderators of two servers not getting along and severing ties between the followers on their respective servers.

The cons are, well, I have to pay for the hosting. And after I'm gone, I'll take my server down with me, with all my posts.

Wait. Maybe the last one is a pro.

@stefan @Paulatics 🤣🤣🤣
