   With each passing day, I grow more & more interested in having my content and conversations under my own control.

   I already have my own #PeerTube instance. Maybe it's time to spin up my own #Mastodon instance, too?

   Hate to lose what I've already posted here, but I can always re-post my intro and my pinned stuff, right?

     @killyourfm
     Just ask @aral how you can totally fry your instance (he blogged about it)

     @killyourfm I guess it will depend more on how many people will want to see your content

     @Disputatore Good advice.

     I *assumed* it wouldn't be too taxing with just me as the sole user, but you know what they say about assuming...

     Maybe I will just spin up the instance and run around with an account for a few days, post some media, follow some folks, and see what happens.

     @killyourfm so, before you do that, have you considered what the performance will be? I have seen this one guy who moved to his own instance and posted pictures. It was impossible to get anything older than some days. Maybe investigate that or try with a new account before you move this one.

     @RyunoKi @killyourfm @Disputatore The main bottleneck for me was Sidekiq threads. So if you have a hefty social graph and you’re prone to engage with folks (and them with you), get yourself a VPS.

     I’m on the $49/mo plan with Jan (@jan) at toot.io (https://toot.io/mastodon_hosting.html) now and I haven’t had any resource-related issues (and Jan’s been awesome at getting me moved over and with support).
