I'm considering setting aside the compute resources to host some small salon-sized (say 16 user) instances to see how well they develop.

I would be willing to set up and host ~10 of these as an experiment, and would commit to both operating them for at least a year and to making them as easy to move as possible should a particular salon decide they'd prefer to self-host.

I would like to offer either postActiv or Mastodon servers for this at the salon's choice.

Would there be interest?

@djsundog super intrigued by this idea! i have a domain that i'd like to spawn a subdomain for, and some vague thoughts about what i could do with this; can you keep me in the loop?
@modgethanc can and will :)
