Dave Higgins is a user on octodon.social. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.
If you don't, you can sign up here.
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?
@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?
@stylus Thus demonstrating my point that it's a significant determiner of whether or not one would maintain one's own instance
@DaveHiggins it's that last item that I really *don't* need.
