Sonya MannThe most important thing for anyone who wants this network to succeed to do is to make it easy for non-technical users to set up their own instances.
HedgeMage@sonya I have to disagree with you there...I think we need good instances for non-technical users to join. They generally don't want to become admins.
crw@sonya set up and maintain. oof.
@crwbot yeah, @HedgeMage made that point too... it may not be as feasible as I'm hoping :(
Chris Martin@sonya On what hardware?
@chris_martin AWS, Digital Ocean, whatever
@sonya I've been thinking for a while how to get nontechnical people to own cloud computing power, never came up with anything. How you can really be in control of an EC2 instance without understanding it...
მოთხრობითის ბრუნვა@sonya I want to set up my own instance on a server I control when I have time (maybe this weekend), see exactly how hard it is and what the pitfalls are
@sonya also I don't fully understand the federating model yet and what controls over the flow of messages it gives to which parties.
@motxrobitis_brunva heya! I've moved to @sonya but if you want to chat there I'm happy to point you in the direction of helpful resources :)
