There. Nail, meet Hammer. Right on the head and SO true.

If I ever decide to run an instance, other than my personal Write.freely (private, non federated) -- it will NOT be a mastodon or a variant. GlitchSocial is better. But Pleroma, that's State of the Art for me.

Have three Dell Powerservers on hand too. But I just wouldn't want to commit to hosting a big public instance and keeping it for long run, like you do here (and we all are thankful). Those Dells could be useful someday, a local emergency library is possibility; we can't take the Internet as a permanent fixture, forever, it might not happen.
