nostr:npub1cmgqvz7xr07euwkum3mjghjqcu4d3k2fcyf6g4uwwe5ggnd6fetq0wrzd2 I am a sysadmin too, but there is a reason I choose to NOT run my own #mastodon instance vs join (and pay). I see too often where people think smaller instances equal better quality on here. There is the "hit by a bus" risk of solo host. Those don't have a great support staff so you rely on the "I am human" approach. In terms of "service", this is not a good enough reason in my opinion, for a solo instance. You want to run an instance? Cool. But adding users? You become a service.
