There is something which scares me on mastodon. I see more and more people installing instances while they don't have a clue about what they're doing.

Then their instance is going to be listed on the website and people will be randomly redirected toward them when someone wants to use mastodon.

But then what happen?

Hosting someone's services is not fun or anything. It's a liability and I hope you have that in mind.

Also, pick carefully your instance.

@Vigdis definitely my concern as well. I'm planning to spin up my own instance if this thing lasts longer than a month so that I don't depend on anyone but myself. Plus, if I wait a month to start mine I hopefully won't see massive usage like every other instance.

@CrowderSoup yes but until then, you'll accumulated things (followers, toots and so on) on this account and I'm not sure you'll ever be able to migrate them completely

you can export and then reimport stuffs but it's pretty basic for now
