Les OrchardI think the terrifying thing is that if I actually set up and turn on these novelty Mastodon instances for which I just bought domains, folks will actually use them. And then what?
Mastodon's residential Drunk ✅@lmorchard I think people who open Instances without having longterm plans for them are hurting the mastodon economy(or whatever you call it). Granted you may create yours just to fuck around, and don't expepct people to join them. but other people do. but have no plan for long term use. and that's hurtful to the entire community.
@lmorchard the only reasoon i haven't created an instance is because i know I wont' want to keep it running long term. It'd be fun for a while, but after a month or so i'd shut it down because of costs.
that's why i leave it for others.
@JThorne Like, the instance might be a collaborative story that has a "season" and I archive it at the end
