Not just speaking technically but economically. As user number mount up their post is just going to add up. I know instaces may distribute user, but server space isn’t going to go down for anyone. It just seems like built to fall.

    I’m more of an archivist, belive that will cause loss of many meaningfull conversation and information.

        i would like to see a drop in word-press like (fuck wordpress) install for a fully-federatable instance.

        im sure there are many products there or nearly there. It smells like opportunity for the right, talented folks.

        im having a blast with mbin on aws

            theres a great crew in the devs/other admins of mbin on matrix, and i am always happy to help if you ever decide to give it a go.

            you can probably do it very cheaply. i went the most expensive route, and im payin ~$1.00/day. not using aws, you could maybe that down to $0.25
            one thing to keep in mind, once your instance is up with a domain name (myinstance.mydomain.com) it cant really be changed.

            im an old sysadmin, i hate social media… i just like looking at the numbers…keeping things running. my hate for the new reddit has overtaken my hate for social media.
