Best guide for running your own mastodon instance?
@Rob1Ham @mattodell wouldn't be better to encrypt data shared in each instance?
@mattodell not souch a guide as a one click option: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon
That's what mine is running on. The Mastodon website has decent docs too. And apparently other server software is good too.
@pete @mattodell would running your own instance mitigate the privacy issues of connecting to @nvk instance?
Any guide on this? 🙏
@mattodell like why can't we have something like a bitcoin lighting node that share the same instance but with more privacy on it for mastodon
@mattodell Are you leaving us?
@bashnewid cool part of mastodon is I can run my own instance without leaving
@mattodell Oh, gotcha. Yes. I would be interested in this as well then!
@mattodell was just thinking the same thing. You lose some network effects of the shared local feed but worth it for privacy and control.
