Twitter became a global phenomenon with the same UI and an even slower ruby on rails implementation behind it, despite the constant fail whale. > Plus, whenever I’ve gone to create an account I’ve been presented with a huge list of servers to chose from, many of which seem to be focused on a specific topic, which makes me think I need to pick which community I want to be tied to with minimal knowledge. As you're already self-hosting ATproto anyway, why not self-host a mastodon instance as well?

I don’t want a constant fail whale or a slow experience, and I don’t think a lot of other people would want that either. > As you're already self-hosting ATproto anyway, why not self-host a mastodon instance as well? Hosting a PDS is free, plus it’s considerably lighter weight conceptually than a whole Mastodon instance!
