<description>Back on the Fediverse A recent post from Alan Pope, Mastodon Instances, Everywhere, reminded me that I also used to run a Mastodon instance back when it was all still new and shiny.
My instance ran for awhile and had a few users and I actually enjoyed being on the network. It was much more civil and discussions seemed friendlier than Twitter. Eventually, I shut my instance down as it took more and more sysadmin time, was quite resource hungry and their updates did not always go smoothly.</description>
<description>As part of wanting to go through and reorganise my various sites and blogs, so I (once again) have a place to write again, I have switched over to Hugo as my content system. I have just spun up a new web host with Apache and Git to automatically pull site changes from the repo and publish them. It&rsquo;s all working beautifully so far.</description>
