Replying to Avatar ⸸ commander ░ nova ⸸ :~$

I actually have that exact experience. I was on a Mastodon server for years, at least 4, and I had just one grievance where I went a little out of control and told someone to go fuck themselves, and because the admin and his mod team were having a bad day, or didn't like me ... I lost everything. It made/inspired me to launch my own Mastodon server, but after exploring Nostr for a little bit now, I'm starting to wonder if paying for a Mastodon server is really the best option

Yeah, I've been hosting my own for a while in order to make myself immune to tyrannical admins, but it looks like I might have found another way to post and not be silenced

I tried to write my own activitypub server for the same reason, and because mastodon is bloated af. The protocol was just too complicated and it required me to run a server which most people wont be able to do and therefore will never be sovereign. its just a bad design.

would it be good if the server was really thin and easy to run?
