FYI, I'm trying out a new instance: rune@mastodon.nzoss.nz
It seems like a good instance and I've already found @lightweight to be a cool person.
This is mostly inspired by the fact that the #purism instance source is somewhat obscure.
There are multiple repos on source.puri.sm that *could* be the servers source, but none of them look official and none of them have a tag for v2.8.2, which is what the server UI claims to be running.
And the webui just links to the official mastodon git...
Additionally, I guess, as a developer, I want to be closer to upstream. The sources I did see have quite a bit of changes that I fear could lead to slow update cycles with backporting and possible conflicts of interest with the upstream project plans.
That's just speculation of course, but it is what it is.
