@Algot Nope, that was just a post I made :) There isn’t an automated system for forwarding accounts between instance yet (although there is an active discussion thread about it on the repository.)

@bitcoinyuri@mstdn.io @eugen @aral@mastodon.social (Decentralised systems model the tangible realm, with all of its complexities. Guaranteeing identity is not and should not be a goal of decentralised systems – trying to do so and to link it to biological identity cannot be done without a centralised map. Something to be avoided at all costs. We can, of course, use webs of trust & other social conventions we use in tangible space to voluntarily verify identity when/if we want to)

@bitcoinyuri@mstdn.io @eugen @aral@mastodon.social That's, unfortunately (fortunately?) unavoidable. Think of it like domain names: anyone can be aral.com (unfortunately, the petroleum company got there before me… but I beat them to ar.al). Perhaps email is a closer example, anyone can also be aral@mail.com (someone probably is). If that someone uses it to commit identity theft/fraud, we have a system of policing and justice to deal with it. Otherwise, it's cool.

@inso I'll look them up, thanks. What's their Mastodon handle?

Doing an interview with Wired in ten minutes about Mastodon and we’re going to do it over Tox.

How April 2017 ;P

Saw a couple of folks talking about Tox so trying it out. (Sounds Awesome from the description on the repository.)

My ID, if you want to say hi and help me kick the tires:

@leo Yep, you can close registrations. I don't know if there's an interface for adding new accounts when you do though. You can definitely add people via command-line as a stopgap.

@Jelv@mastodon.social Indeed. The issue is that limiting them to that size is a social contract. For all we know, Google is investing several million dollars in their own farm of instances right about now to do to Mastodon what they did to email with Gmail.

Mastodon is an awesome step in the right direction. And yet the greatest challenge I see is building systems where creating private nodes of one are as easy as setting up Facebook accounts.

@codydh@mastodon.cloud I used the Scalingo installer (so scaling.io). See https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon#deployment-on-scalingo

(And do a search for scalingo on Mastodon’s Github issues for some of my notes until I’ve had a chance to submit some pull requests.)

@slvn@mstdn.io There are definitely optimisations that can be implemented for personal instances.

@leo Unless I’m missing something, it shouldn’t introduce any new scaling issues (thoughts @Gargron?)

Families are an interesting use case I was thinking of recently in the context of https://ar.al/notes/encouraging-indivi dual-sovereignty-and-a-healthy-commons/

(Do let us know how your experience is with administering one if you set one up – and I mean the social aspects, not just the technical ones.) ;)

Ah, that’s better… realised why things weren’t working. Scalingo (where I’m hosting this) had somehow set the number of Sidekiq containers to zero, so no jobs were being processed. Fixed :)

PS. There is a bug with imports currently (https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/1229) so I haven’t been able to follow everyone I was on the mastodon.social instance but I will soon (and hello to all the folks on this account) :)

This is my personal Mastodon instance. I would highly urge you all to set up your own when/if you can. (The process is currently relatively uncomplicated for developers but not for people without technical knowledge.)

The danger, of course, is that a large company with lots of money will start a Mastodon node just like Google did with Gmail (Gastodon?)

Mastodon is an amazing effort and I’m glad it exists. Our next challenge is decentralising at the scale of the individual, not the community.
