Enough trolling.
Any travel agents on Mastodon? I have a question about a specific all-inclusive resort.

Hi @staff, I saw your post about the future of Mastodon and I first want to applaud y'all on making many forward-looking changes that will help grow #Mastodon ecosystem and the #Fediverse in positive ways.
I also saw that you're interested in new outside-the-box ideas for how Mastodon.Online might progress in its own direction.
Well, I have a few:

A random thought: do most people easily navigate all the settings of Mastodon? It makes me think of pilots switching between the lamps, knobs and screens, while I'm still learning to ride a bike.
I just saw a setting that said "Quiet Public", and instantly had a mental image of someone going invisible through crowded places. I clicked it so now I know I guessed quite correctly, but it made me wonder how many other settings I don't yet know about.

I'm having a go at installing #Mastodon, and #gotosocial, comparing them (on 2 different VPS', 2 different domains). The elegance of gotosocial, for installation, is really impressive. 👍
Mastodon has way too many "moving parts" to my liking: it has node.js 🙄 , puma, sidekiq, and redis processes all vying for CPU usage. Despite this little whirlwind of server processes, it *also* wants the webserver, say #nginx to interface with local storage (for its "public" folder), or an S3-style bucket. It has too many tangled dependencies for me to consider it "low-maintenance". It's a "high-maintenance" service - not to be taken lightly. Like I can't just "set it up and forget it".
This is all really unconducive to doing a reverse proxy, where a VPS in the cloud acts as a "simple" reverse proxy, then one runs Mastodon in a lightweight container in one's LAN, like in Incus (and one can still easily use free Let's Encrypt SSL certs).

If building an "analog bag" means doing an Amazon haul, you're missing the point entirely. You're just swapping TikTok dopamine for shopping dopamine. Dig through your junk drawer, fix something you already own, or at least buy it used.
