@qonnyr scratch is one of those crazy awesome projects that needs more attention (and also that i know very little about, but _it looks so cool_)

@qonnyr naw AWS would be way too expensive for crossorigin :P

@qonnyr also how did you even get a username on there? I thought they closed signup

@qonnyr your name is spelled funny

@jamesdoc You want a LiveWires instance of Mastodon? :P I thought of that too, but it sounds a little bit strange...

@jamesdoc Welcome!

At what point do we wind up hosting our own instance? :P

Fediverse: you can run your own instance, like email; but you can @-message anybody, like on Twitter

@nancybaym email is the closest example I think
