@falktx@mastodon.falktx.com long term i'd rather self-host on a tiny vps, so a rails app known to take 2GB of ram for a single-user instance is kind of a non-starter, haha. but i'm not a fan of its authoritarian design either. eg., increasing the post length limit entails maintaining your own patches/fork (with the AGPL distribution requirements it arguably entails). Nor a fan of its rebranding the federation under its name.
Anyway, not like it degrades more gracefully than the other options!
