@viciousviscosity How has cybre.space been treating you? I have an alt there that I haven't really booted up yet. Yesterday mastodon.social *and* octodon.social both fell over… I'm kind of thinking "smaller instance" might be the right thing to do, even if I lose followers 😣
@viciousviscosity @zigg I like having all of the above.
The only 'problem' is that Docker seems to be giving Cobalt Velvet nothing but fits of late.
Like anything else 'at scale'... things happen.
I'm actually surprised instances on masto.host haven't seen too many similar issues.
@viciousviscosity There is also the option of running my own instance… 🤔
@zigg @viciousviscosity Yeah, but in the event of a downtime it's usually your own fault. 😁
@TrollDecker @zigg Yep, that exactly. I hosted one, didn’t federate or do anything with it really, early on, just to see what it was about. And I’ve since watched numerous struggles and realized that, for me, it was not a project I wanted to take on. But it is certainly a viable option!
@viciousviscosity @TrollDecker I'd be a trailblazer too because I'd insist on trying to run it on OpenBSD 😁
@zigg @TrollDecker Ohhh, looking to get rid of your free time there, eh? 😅
@viciousviscosity @TrollDecker I can already smell the rotten crops on my Stardew farm…
@zigg I can't recall the last time we had any downtime, we've been really solid. It is smaller, but it's my kinda place. I did see your "glitchy self" show up when searching. 😉
I often picture m.s. as this giant, London-esque place, and occasionally people migrate from there. Nowhere else has quite everything, but the smaller spaces have their charm. 😊
