I recently wrote and article on how Mastodon works; that seemed to get a hell of a lot of attention and positive feedback.

Mastodon Operation Cost
Mastodon Operation Cost
It was suggested I post, and pin, a toot with information about what it costs to run this instance.
I like this, I want to be transparent, and I think it's important that the community have trust and confidence in me, and the hosting.
Currently the costs looks like this:
* £112.50 a year for a VPS
* €25.00 a year for the domain name
All media (avatars, etc.) are sotred on the server, we use 20G of 40G so far.
More details (and optional donations) at

Deleting Twitter and Joining Mastodon
Deleting Twitter and Joining Mastodon
Facebook does not respect the privacy of its users. So I deleted my account last week (made a video about it). Moved from Facebook to Diaspora. This week I'm deleteing Twitter. I want it out of my life as well--for privacy reasons. Moving from Twitter over to Mastodon. If you guys want to join me...
