There is something which scares me on mastodon. I see more and more people installing instances while they don't have a clue about what they're doing.

Then their instance is going to be listed on the website and people will be randomly redirected toward them when someone wants to use mastodon.

But then what happen?

Hosting someone's services is not fun or anything. It's a liability and I hope you have that in mind.

Also, pick carefully your instance.

@Vigdis How much could there to be to know about running rails and nodejs inside a docker container on a VPS, with a high velocity codebase running production, and an immediate userbase to whom you offer no redundancy and which will expect 24/7 uptime? This is pure alarmism!
