Home upload speeds aren’t holding that back. Hardware is.
What is the average social media user going to host their Mastodon instance on? I wish it were possible to run mini-servers on something like an Apple TV, goodness knows there’s enough CPU going spare there most of the time. Or that ISPs shipped routers capable of it. But alas most people don’t have sufficiently open hardware just sitting around at home.
- porkbeer 4y agoMy upload speeds, that I pay 120/mo for, are under 300kb. Boradband in america is largely a joke. I have only one provider in my area under 200/mo.

- afavour 4y agoI love the idea of it. The average user is never going to do it. > Unzip the image and install it to an SD card OK, you'll lose some people here but a lot could handle that > Configure your WiFi by editing pleromapi-wpa-supplicant.txt Aaand they're gone
