      You offer paid hosting with hardware in your garage? I’m getting dot-com flashbacks!

          Great explanation, thanks for the write up! I have a couple of questions, if I may.

          • So if I setup my own instance tomorrow, it’d be sending notifications of activity to all the other instances? Maybe I’d have to have a list of instances I’d like to notify? How does it discover the other instances?

          • If my instance is listening to all other instances? Won’t saving all posts take up a lot of disk space? I guess there is only text and link data and no media, but wouldn’t it add up fast as the number of users/instances grow ?

      Now you just need solar or something feeding a battery to cover most of your electricity costs.
