@Edent@mastodon.social  ·  activity timestamp 2 weeks ago

I've been on this Mastodon instance for over 9 years now.

I keep thinking that I should redecentralise and start my own. But that's a lot of hassle / money for not much advantage.

I might consider it in 2026 for my 10 year anniversary - but I honestly can't think of a compelling reason to move.

@Edent you can totally move to social.lol, it is paid but very affordable, comes with other nice complementary services, and - being paid - feels reliable 👍

@Edent any particular reason for choosing self hosting over the next best friendly small instance?

@Edent take a look at other software. #GoToSocial, #Ktistec, #Snac. There are options that are much easier to deploy and much less resource intensive.

@Edent I use Mastodon 😔

I’m gathering strength to migrate to gts. One of the tricky parts is I want to preserve my posts and at the moment it’s not exactly a one-click process.

Another complication for me is that it’s not recommended to run a different server on the same domain so I’ll have to somehow address that, too.

@Edent just wait for the Billions he's earning to get to Rochko's head and then you can make the move!

@dev @neil @Edent also, mastodon takes a bit of resources to host, especially if you have a lot of interaction, like Terence. For me, it's the other way around, I've had my own #gotosocial instance since quite early, it's no biggie to host, so why would I switch away...

@neil @Edent That's the thing, it's a bummer to lose 25K posts.
