So this is great and everything, but I've got to think that instances with thousands of users isn't really the way forward, rather, <1000 but many more instances. Remove points of failure, remove censorship, remove the need for one individual to bare massive hosting costs...

If someone comes up with an almost hands-off, one-click service for setting up instances of a limited size for a fixed cost per month, it would absolutely make a killing...

@orielle There already is such a service. From the creator of all of this himself.

@orielle @turi not quite hands-off though, just personal attention by creator of protocol. Which is not bad, but we are talking one person here. Would it be possible to dumb down the admin work to such a point where it *could* be a literal appliance?

@tariqk @orielle if mastodon gets big enough, i bet server providers will have pre-configured instances ready. before that, i do not see much of a chance for it.
