If you join a instance Mastodon sucks. If you run your own instance Mastodon rocks.

If they made it easier to run your own instance meaning 99% of people ran their own instance then we wouldn't need to join people's instance.

Unfortunately it's very difficult setting up your own instance so people go join other instances.

I joined 2 and got banned within 2 days.

I want to start my own instance but it's f-en hard to get it going and requires me to buy a server.

They should make it how you can run your own instance by using your phone and only you can join your own instance. That's would solve all the problems.

His service returns a 502.

I liked the part that one used to have to be technical to publish on the Internet.

I guess it's not just me who got a 502 then. I think you can still message him on fediverse even if the page isn't loading, his account is active. But I suppose it would be good to check that it's still being offered. I just messaged him about it, I'll see what he says.

I got a reply and he said he's not offering it anymore, but he recommended https://fediverse.express/ .
