Ask HN: Are you running (or considering running) your own Mastodon instance?
- shykes 4y agoI am considering it. I prefer to not worry about hosting at all, but if I am forced to think about it, I would rather use a hosting provider that I’m already familiar with. If hosting my own server is too much work, or has other downsides I’m not seeing, I will reluctantly choose an indie provider - probably hachyderm since it is run and used by people I trust.
- sacrosanct 4y agoWell if we're talking about building castles on other people's land, it's a Faustian bargain scenario where you blindly trust the landlord, and you have to play 'tenant', so ideally everyone should host their own instance to stop mistrust issues, but we don't live in an ideal world, so.
- yuppie_scum 4y agoSeems like a waste of time and money. Just join one of the big ones.
- ikeserbestian 4y agoI am tinkering with yunohost for a week and just started my instance few days ago.
