@eniko @wiredfire @esdin I wonder if that’s maybe an issue in your neighborhood? When I returned to here, mastodon.social timed out all the time even with basic things like just starting the app or logging in. Now it’s all smooth. Or it’s the neighborhoods of the people you try to connect with? Maybe they are too remote ;-)

@jashan @wiredfire @esdin pretty sure it was mastodon.social being under heavy load, still not great tho

Wiredfire :BA:

@eniko @jashan @esdin not great but remember these are non-commercial servers. They’re run largely by volunteers, or by a non-profit organisation, funded entirely by donations.

The solution when big servers are under heavy load is patience. They’ll come back up & get fast again & you can encourage folk to spread themselves across more servers which helps everyone share the load.

@wiredfire @jashan @esdin i'm pointing out that this type of stuff is not acceptable to a mainstream audience and will harm adoption, not complaining about my experiences here for the sake of it

Wiredfire :BA:

@eniko @jashan @esdin that’s ok as well, but I also suggest there’s a reasonable expectation for new users to understand that there’s a small learning curve - a small price for the benefits of a non-corporate owned decentralised system IMO.

But others may disagree, that’s also ok. There’s plenty of platforms, we can adopt the ones we feel are right for each of us 😊

maybe that's a feature too?

@jesuisatire @eniko @jashan @esdin I’d say so, to some degree

living in this thought space for a decade now, there is one thing I know for sure:

once mainstreams starts to think they can make money out of this, they will code your needs faster than you can see.

so ..
don't worry ..
be happy!

@wiredfire @eniko @jashan @esdin setting up my own single user instance with #YunoHost was surprisingly easy. Heck you get a 1GB ram vps for 2€ a month add a domain for 5€ per year and you have yourself a place with full control. Might as well add your love interests and friends to it if you feel comfortable with some moderation.

you might go to wall street to ask for money so we can invest in infrastructure?
