I went from relying on crowded overtaxed instances to having my own, all while still coming off a ketamine high. The server costs $20ish/mo, and just having it will prod me to do a bunch of other stuff that's been kicking around in my head. Suddenly it's 2000 again, only easier.

Finding http://yunohost.org made it super easy to set up my own federated sites and fully commit to Not Here.

In less than an hour, I bought a domain name, bought a virtual machine from DigitalOcean, and set up Mastodon, PixelFed, Gitea, and some other toys to play with.
