@drgo @nvk This is what I used: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon
Very easy, _if_ you understand the basics of how web servers work. But if you don't, kinda hopeless...
The instructions for setting up your own, on your own hardware, aren't so easy frankly. I haven't tried alternative software. But Mastodon itself is kinda a beast - it's a standard high scalability web app using lots of fancy tech. It looks intimidating to me, so I went for the one-click option.
Probably a docker setup somewhere...
@pete @drgo @nvk Thanks for that. There is also this, similar: https://blog.travisbriggs.com/setting-up-your-own-mastodon-with-digital-ocean-and-docker-29e633d354f2
Anyway, I hope bitcoin hackers stays but if it doesn't please give us a few months notice so we can create our own and connect with everyone.
