I am thinking about hosting my own Mastodon server from home on a Raspberry Pi (Pi4 8GB)?

  1. Are there good tutorials out there?
  2. What’s the annual cost just to host yourself?

    Still doesn’t beat nostr imo.

    Bluesky:

    • Identity not tied to instance
    • You have to buy and administer a domain name, which is technically complex and costs $10.
    • DNS is also subject to censorship by firewalls

    Nostr:

    • Identity is not tied to an instance
    • Your private keys (identity) are generated by your app. No purchase or administration required
    • Censorship is much more difficult
