   I run my own instance because I've seen trans people driven from social media sites one too many times, and I want to control my own destiny.

     @goatsarah What do you need to do that (over and above a basic laptop)?

     @SusanLewis My Friendica server is running on this Mac Mini M2, in Docker. Ignore all the other crap in there.

     @goatsarah Oh, lordy... I bet it's cozy in there! My Akkoma server (as of yesterday) is up on a shelf next to the UPS. :) @SusanLewis

     @goatsarah I'll need to get educated first.

     @SusanLewis Worth playing about with Docker to get used to it

     @goatsarah I'll see what happens. I'm not the most technologically minded, so I'll take it slowly

     @SusanLewis If you aren’t comfortable with the Unix command line and editing system files on Linux, it’s going to be a very steep learning curve. Hosting fediverse servers is not something that has been packaged up in a “plug and go” way yet. You need to have a domain name, set up an HTTPS reverse proxy, an email server, database, etc.

     @SusanLewis OK. You are gonna struggle to get it working then. Maybe someone will build a "home fediverse server" package that can run easily on a Mac or Windows machine, but they haven't yet, to my knowledge. It's currently a bit arcane.

     @goatsarah Yes. I'm not sure I even know how to do any of that.
