- I'm skeptical about the "instance is like discord" because of the high cost of creating an account (it takes years to build up a social graph) people have more than one persona and few have the will to create so accounts-per-persona
I'm trying to solve this:
- I ran wordpress blogs. Always breaking, constant spam attacks, $$$
- I used free blog engines. Many of them disappeared taking my content with them.
- I used paid blog engines. They disappeared taking my content with 'em.
Maybe the experience of changing instances every six months (when mastodon.social is over run by spam or when mstdn.social gets defederated for insufficient moderation...)will be less problematic than I imagine.
A self hosted system won't have moderation problems (bad actors on instance), although it could have comment spam & maintenance probs (in the sense of requiring too many weekends of work)
