There is something which scares me on mastodon. I see more and more people installing instances while they don't have a clue about what they're doing.
Then their instance is going to be listed on the website and people will be randomly redirected toward them when someone wants to use mastodon.
But then what happen?
Hosting someone's services is not fun or anything. It's a liability and I hope you have that in mind.
Also, pick carefully your instance.
@Vigdis nothing lasts forever. If people approach new adventures -- like this one -- as ephemeral, it will be alright. 😊
@david I don't want mastodon to be ephemeral :(
Don't you like to toot?!
@Vigdis I wouldn't be here if I didn't like interacting, of course I do. Yet, I am aware that instances will come and go, just like the real Mastodon did. It is the nature of the beast!
@david haha made me chuckle
