This is the last message this node will ever send. Over the last few weeks, it's become clear that Mastodon is not something I want to be a part of. I see the road that the instance admins are leading you down and it will end in tears.
So, I'm out. I'll be posting only from sungo at public.sungo.io, my GS node.
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?
I wrote a thing on how to automatically crosspost specific posts from Mastodon to Twitter:
If you have any problems with the directions let me know. :)
I've been drawing a few of these whimsical fantasy-ish contraption type things lately. They're a fun change from mandalas. Hope to turn the idea into a game of some-sort eventually. :)
