Yeah I can't see this taking off or even coming close to twitter or the like.

I signed up at mastodon.cloud. Seems like the next best option, supports ipv6 too.

@Minion-Queen why don't you just have @scottalanmiller setup your own instance at grove.social (available according to GoDaddy for $199) or social.grovesocial.com or social.mangolassi.it?

Not. A bad idea.

They have a docker setup listed.

So we would use mastodon instead of the "What are you doing right now" Thread?

Sorry doing too many things at once. Yes I know. Debating the Social Media and Posting results for having our own server on this.

The entire thing is open to all and people will simply follow as they do on twtter, it is not like your own server will have less access to an audience than any other server

I vote for running a server
-
-
Things that I have to consider:
Too many places for things to go = waste of time for me.
Too many places for people to discuss things = waste of traffic for me
A place that is likely to remain only ML people for the foreseeable future = who cares you have ML to post in your aren't going to repost threads for someone else to look at when they are already here to look at them.More possible traffic to ML is good I won't deny that at all but is the ROI worth it is the question.

As my company does, I'm going to leave it to the magic 8 ball. I'll let you know what my vote is in a minute.

And yes I do know that it is open for people to join and use. However who is going to actually join and use a server specifically for an online community.
A failing I see here is TOO many servers and what is the real possibility of something other than another time suck for no real return.
