I have been on the Internet longer than you have. This makes me more boring than you.
No, really, I'm mostly posting as [email protected] -- I'm here because the federated timeline over there ain't keeping, you know, up. Because pushes.

Colin MitchellFor kicks I booted an instance of mastodon for running bots. It's at https://botsin.space/
I made a bot too. I wanted to make something that broke past Twitter's character limit, so I made a bot version of Strachey's LOVELETTERS https://botsin.space/@loveletter
Jef Poskanzer@reconbot @ummjackson @ceejbot I think I ran into a case where speed vs. perceived speed becomes apparent. When I reply to a toot on another instance, an optimization makes my reply show up immediately; but if I reload, it's not there, and doesn't show up again until it comes back via federation. Which seems to take quite a few minutes.
JohnI am deliberately not saying much here because I'm going to launch my own instance tomorrow and there's no way to migrate accounts. (Or is there, but I missed it?)
My two main considerations right now are: use docker/docker-compose, or run services normally; and use discordiancabal.org.uk or tehinterwebs.co.uk?

BTW, here are my ansible playbooks & notes about how I set this up.

I used an older Ubuntu so I could avoid systemd.
Am playing Dargon Age: Inquisition. [sic sic dammit] I am playing an elf rogue.
