This week I moved this instance to my own server and left @mastohost after almost two years of service with him.

Let me take my hat off to Hugo: he's providing a vital part of infrastructure that makes Mastodon and, in turn, the wider fediverse!

Why leave? Mastohost is meant as a simple starting point for anyone new to Mastodon. I've been wanting to do more for a while now.

If you're thinking of setting up your own instance, but lack the technical knowhow? Please stop by Hugo's place!
