Debating self-hosting vs. finding another server for @reality2cast since I heard that server is on block lists. Since @mastohost is still overwhelmed, and I would like to make my life easier, I would love any and all feedback and suggestions.

@reality2cast @mastohost I’m thinking I’ll try installing on @linode shortly and see how it goes. Wish me luck. 😂 It’s not even so much the technical issues. I don’t think I’ll have a problem there, but the challenge of setting it up *well* and in a way that won’t cost me down the road in either 💸 or mental wellness. 🤓

@katherined @reality2cast @mastohost @linode

That's my concern. I'd love to set up an instance of my own, but I keep hearing about these details about mass levels of data pulls from the various federated servers for anyone with whom you might be connected to. It's got the potential to DDoS yourself.

I'd like to hear opposing viewpoints and arguments in favor of running your own instance, above and beyond the data ownership concerns, which are high on my list.
