@Gargron I got my hands on Mastodon's source code, which is open to everyone, and learned every bit of how it works.
Therefore, I am able to provide services using Mastodon with confidence and respond to bugs immediately and provide feedback on them. I maintain my own forked source code while suggesting features to be included in the future.
The Mastodon community is very strong, as developers are born from the users and participate in the development to ensure quality and build the future.
@Gargron I could have joined an existing community, but I decided to self-host Mastodon.
My posts to the world are replicated from my own servers and can be traced back to their originals. Since I own it, the platform will not be terminated or removed at the platform's discretion, and I can provide a long and stable service. I finally have this. Yay!
@Gargron Creators who publish their own content, developers who publish their own products, individuals and organizations who express their own research results and ideas, journalists, politicians, independent businesses, and public services such as national and local governments should own the originals by self-hosting. They should not let anyone else have the right to kill them. You can replicate it somewhere else if you need to, but you should keep the original.
