so I set up a masto instance just to see how the process goes. but is there some reason I'd actually use it instead of octodon.social?
@DaveHiggins it's that last item that I really *don't* need.
@stylus Thus demonstrating my point that it's a significant determiner of whether or not one would maintain one's own instance
@stylus
Social is overwhelmingly crowded. On a smaller instance you can hear yourself think, and maybe even start discussions about things you care about
@stylus You want to have somewhere that's mostly about a narrow topic?
You want to have different social rules/federations?
You enjoy finding work for yourself?
