Mastodon, with Jerry! 

• Setup and Background
  • Is he a Llama?
  • Twitter changed hands
  • New owner appears insane
  • People are afraid that their social network of choice is going down the tubes
  • They are looking for a place to go
  • Decentralized, and federated
    • The platform isnt controlled by one party
    • It effectively cannot be taken away.
    • Why is that important?
    • Fediverse? Activitypub? what’s that all about?
  • Open Source
    • Why is _that_ important?
  • Who is Jerry?
  • A little about Twitter, just for reference
  • Why did people like Twitter to begin with?  Why not one of the other social networks? 
  • What is Mastodon?
• So What’s it like when your hobby becomes a life raft?
  • What is that?
  • What made you decide to start it up?
  • And what happened in the past few weeks? 
  • How is it hosted? 
    • Cloud? Metal? Vms?
  • How do you afford it??

1. Blog by David Heinemeier Hansson https://world.hey.com/dhh/why-we-re-leaving-the-cloud-654b47e0 
   1. He’s a Danish programmer, and the Creator of Ruby on Rails
   2. He is also co-founder of both Basecamp and HEY
      1. https://basecamp.com/ 
      2. https://hey.com/ 
   3. And, an Author
      1. https://basecamp.com/books/rework 
      2. https://basecamp.com/books/calm/ 
      3. https://basecamp.com/books/remote/ 
      4. https://basecamp.com/books/getting-real/ 
   1. Basecamp has been at least partially in the cloud for a long time
   2. HEY was started in the cloud.
   3. Various platforms and technologies
      1. Bare vms
      2. K8s
      3. Google
      4. Amazon
   4. “Renting computers is (mostly) a bad deal for medium-sized companies like ours with stable growth.”
   5. Two ends of the scale:
      1. Low-end, when your application is simple, low workloads, you benefit from the simplicity of managed services
      2. Irregular “bursty” end, where you have a certain sustained workload, but it has a tendency to burst, and then settle. 
   6. Middle of the scale:
      1. Workloads that have consistent traffic, and stable growth
   7. Cost vs Complexity
      1. A lot of server hardware could be bought for half a million a year
      2. Argument being, managing those servers.
      1. Half a million spend for HEY per year. 
      2. But how true is that, really?
   8. And then there’s centralization…
      1.  
   1. Who is David Heinemeier Hansson https://dhh.dk/?
   2. So what about this post.
