I know I'm a bit late to this discussion but I am always pro-owning your own server and owning your own data. I really really hate what Meta (Facebook) and Alphabet (Google) have done to the internet and our communities. I truly love the idea of the Federated Internet and having various Federated websites that can communicate to each other in a way that email allows. So I can comment on your facebook/twitter-like webpage from my facebook/twitter-like webpage that are on different platforms. I have been considering building my own Mastadon instance to network with and build out with other similar instances. Instead of creating new redundant pages/sites on Discord or Slack that are built on the back of another proprietary service, do so in the wild of self ownership. I _LOVE_ psynews for this understanding and completely support whatever you choose to do to keep this place functioning. I do wonder if, since these types of forums are sorta dwindling and a relic of a previous internet age, maybe pivoting to a more Mastadon type of Federated platform would be a beneficial transition for long term growth and usage. Has there been a consideration to maybe make a Psynews Federated Mastadon site for people to use like Twistter/Threads/Instagram/etc? Would love to see something like that happen down the way 😃
