Hey #SelfHosted #mastodon peeps, talk me out of self-hosting a small/1 user instance?

It still is not fun, is it?

#fediverse

@spikybaddie if I didnt sabotage my server on the regular by burdening with other tasks, it would be rock solid for mastodon! Still recommend here! :)
@chris no spam or abuse issues? Are there good blacklists to automatically use?

@spikybaddie I can only think of two times when spam became anywhere close to an "issue" and both times it was over within days. That's in 3 years. There are good automated black list services (the name will come to me... it's a website.... @jrenken knows...)

Honestly I think a self hosted server is the easiest route for moderation over big servers

@chris @spikybaddie IFTAS and FIRES are a couple of keywords to start with.
