@aral I'm fully aware. I just don't want my child to host stuff at the age of six years old. I also don't want to run my own mailserver. If it's single-tenant, at best something like mastohost will emerge, where it's one entity again, but masked. At worst, only a few geeks will use it.
@claudius Clearly, I don’t agree or I wouldn’t be spending all this time and energy on it :)
Mastohost is necessary because I’ve had a professional developer give up after spending a whole afternoon trying to install it once. Mastodon is multi-tenant. The goal for what I’m building is that you will be able to set it up by visiting a web page, choosing a name, and entering your credit card details (so your child is safe for now) :)
@claudius Eventually, if it proves to be useful, perhaps we can start funding it from the commons.
(We’re not there yet. What I have right now is useful for developers. It’s the first step; the infrastructure. The rest will be built on it and with it.)
@claudius One family = X individuals. One small organisation = Y individuals.
Once support for the individual is there, it can be aggregated to model more complex entities. (A family is the relationships between individuals as is a small organisation.)
