@boud@framapiaf.org @dansinker@omfg.town @caseynewton@mastodon.social This would be probably a good recipe to get an instance started, ie. with a reasonably sized group of people whom you already know or who got invited by people who share similar values with you.

@dansinker@omfg.town @caseynewton@mastodon.social this actually makes me wonder if I really should open up my own instance to others. Besides to suddenly have to moderate content on your server, owners and operators of instances probably also become liable for content. Maybe the smartest thing (albeit expensive as per cost per user) would be to stay on your private instance or join a well moderated one (with all risks on the owner). We’re probably about to become mini Twitters 🤔🤔🤔

@feditips@mstdn.social I’ve set up my instance on Google Cloud following this tutorial (largely). https://justinribeiro.com/chronicle/2019/09/27/setting-up-mastodon-on-google-cloud-platform/
