Just set up my personal Mastodon at https://mastodon.ar.al

Follow me there:

https://mastodon.ar.al/users/aral/remote_follow

You can mention me there using @aral

When/if you can, I would highly urge you to set up your own Mastodon instance. Currently requires tech knowledge/isn’t seamless (and getting it there will be a big challenge) but this is a great start and a very good step in the right direction.

Lots of love to @eugen and the dev team :)

@aral @aral @eugen So will you want to open it to the public or do you think every user (or small group) should have its own instance?

@leo @aral @aral So, is TWIT going to set up twi.mastodon.social or something?

@dredmorbius @aral @aral Oh maybe I misunderstood - are you asking if we'd set up an official @twit account? Probably not - I don't think brand spamming is a good idea for mastodon.

@leo @aral @aral Actually, your own instance. Not just an account. I'm suggesting you might do that. Just a thought.

@dredmorbius @leo @aral @aral Doesn't having multiple instance inherently cause a fracturing problem? I can only imagine having to log in and out of multiple instances much less keep track of them. This is google's problem with multiple accounts now and sounds like the early days of android. Would it be possible to manage all instances in one place?

@will @aral @aral @dredmorbius If that becomes an issue for you (similar to multiple email addresses) just make sure to create only one OSStatus account.
