Hey there! Figured I'd share here since my main instance, Lemmy.ml, seems to be really broken right now. I published an article today focusing on some of the myths and misconceptions Mastodon users have spread over the last few years, with some critical analysis and debunking.

Let me know if you like it!

The same thing is true here. A novice shouldn't be hosting their own instance, heck a experienced user shouldn't host their own instance unless they want a hobby.

I hope these kinks get ironed out as the software matures. I see no reason why people wouldn't be able to just rent a cloud server, run a few docker commands and have their own instance running one day. Maybe not for kbin or lemmy, but at least mastodon.

As long as we all continue to federate with each other instead of relying on some corporation to say whose messages go through and whose don't, there's a chance.
