New blogpost: Is the most stable fedi instance your own fedi instance?
My thoughts and meanderings on some recent shutdown announcements from admins of mid-sized fedi instances.
(And, no, as the post says, I don't think that everyone can, or should, be self-hosting.)
Is the most stable fedi instance your own fedi instance?
This blogpost is very much my thoughts and meanderings. I guess that that’s true of all of my blog, since it is my blog, but it feels especially true for this piece.

With costs, one thing I occasionally reflect on (but have no good answers to) is that, as a self-hosted instance I'm not really paying toward the survival of instances that bring me benefit (because of the accounts on them).
Hopefully I don't cause the admins of those instances any additional *moderation* overhead, but I do increase their network costs (because they've got to send media/toots to my instance).
