      Don't forget to format your code using the triple backticks or tildes:

      Here is my schema:

      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."
