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 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.
