Just playing with setting up mastodon on Digital Ocean. Fortunately there's an excellent how-to here

How does toot.twit.tv sound?

@leo I'd vote for that. Though given your admiration for the work of ScooterX and the other gatekeepers of irc.twit.tv, aren't you concerned about the lack of moderation (hardly the word, draconian would be better) facilities?

@User21952 We'll see. I'll make it a private invite-only instance at first.

@leo That would work, it's only the universal access of IRC (ignoring exclusions for Tor, VPN, privacy services essentially) that requires the constant pruning of the audience. It would be interesting to see how many denizens of #TWiTLive would decamp to Mastodon. The comfortable incumbents (bleak, Loquacious1, Chumly etc.) wouldn't I think, it would be a loss if they did.

@User21952 I wouldn't necessarily want to replace IRC with Mastodon, but I would like an asynchronous place for fans to interact. Chat requires quite a commitment.

@leo You get any further on this idea Leo? The Digital Salon with reputations from around the world, some in text, others streamed, moderated, private Could be a winner in a world of contraction.
