      Question to whoever here uses Mastodon and is technically-inclined:

      How reasonable an idea is it to run your own mastodon instance for solo purposes? (eg. as one would run their own email server, or at least point a host's mx to their own domain)

      How much would this cost, and is it possible to reliably secure an instance to run as a one-person federated instance easily?

      I guess how much it costs would scale based on how many individual accounts follow the one account on the instance, yes?

      Which buzzwords, used in marketing to techies, are the biggest turnoffs?

      I'll start:

      • Accelerate innovation
      • Single pane of glass
      • End-to-end
      • Best practices
      • The developer experience

      There are valid reasons to use all of these, but 90% of the time... nope.

      If I get enough response to this, I'm thinking of turning into a listicle of "N Buzzwords That Developers Hate."

      I'm thinking about increasing the level of my open source contributions a bit. Instead of searching blindly until I stumble upon an issue that:
      A) Piques my interest
      B) I feel somewhat qualified to implement

      I figured I'd check with the tildes community. Is there any Open Source software that you use that is missing a feature/capability? Can you give a brief description of it (bonus points for links to an issue tracker with an open ticket :))?

      Can't of course promise anything will come of it, but if I do pick up your suggestion at least I'll give you a ping if I make any progress!
