Julia Evans (@bork@jvns.ca) writes about her experience of running and using a single-person Mastodon server. The post also links to other people’s experiences in-between.

I keep prattling on about how withwithout algorithms, microblogging needs to interact much more seamlessly with group-based platforms like lemmy.
EDIT: forgot the “out” in “without”
