Gregory's Server@ajroach42 I definitely am on the believer side!
I fired this same server up in 2016, ran it for a while and then lost interest because most people were still on Twitter.
Now I'm back, probably for the long haul. And it looks like a bunch of people have made the switch, which is very exciting.
I chose to use DO for this because I am not entirely comfortable hosting a public instance on my home network where I also work.
@torgny We're on DO at the moment, too, but that's transitional until we end up in the co-lo we're spinning up across town.
I've self hosted from a pi in a closet, I've run containers in the cloud, I've run bare metal in bulgaria. It all just keeps chugging along.
The software, for all my complaints, is pretty good. Throw brutaldon.online in to the mix, and it's downright pleasant.
