Bitcoin Fediverse is growing! It's good to see that we've got a little more staying power this time.
It'll prob still take more people being cancelled off of Twitter before we get the next growth spurt in Mastodon use though.
For any noobs (like me) who are wondering how to start their own instance, it can be done easily at masto.host - also keep an eye on tribes.host
how is a hosted mastodon instance better in terms of canceling and censorship? couldn’t they just shut down your instance “for democracy!” or something?
Like, going from being an average twitter user to essentially running your own social media platform would seem like a step too far for most people.
@Tom @stephanlivera it does at least give you the option to keep custody of your own data, whereas with twitter they could just nuke it. I wonder if mastodon has an option for downloading a backup of all my timelines and toots and stuff...
@pox @stephanlivera I don’t know. Probably.
A good person to follow for this kind of stuff is @alex although he is all on Pleroma rather than mastodon.
@stephanlivera
I wish @aantonop would be active here, also hosting his own peertube instance for his videos would be perfect. We had youtube purges before...
@stephanlivera I've been trying my best to keep this going. Liking and responding to content to let people know their posts here aren't going into the void. I've seen a few waves here and this one has been the biggest. I hope it continues.
@stephanlivera Yep, it is only a matter of time. I have permanently moved to Bitcoin Fediverse with 0% Twitter exposure.
I do miss you all though!
