I am thinking about hosting my own Mastodon server from home on a Raspberry Pi (Pi4 8GB)?
- Are there good tutorials out there?
- What’s the annual cost just to host yourself?
I am thinking about hosting my own Mastodon server from home on a Raspberry Pi (Pi4 8GB)?
I tried reading up on Nostr the other day, and came away finding it unpalatable, mainly because my understanding was that upvotes are tied to crypto.
The way I read it, you need some sort of crypto currency to pay for upvoting a post, from which I inferred that the only reasonable gauge for a posts popularity (upvotes) was intrinsically tied to money (and crypto-money, at that).
Is this a reasonable assessment, or did I misunderstand something?
EDIT: I was wrong, and stand corrected 👍
