I'm looking to move to a general server with more than just one moderator that would be a good space for Black users, because I want to encourage more people from Africa to sign up.

Is mastodon.online OK? What do POC recommend?
How about setting up your own instance on a server such as #Vultr and use a lightweight app such as #Pleroma and use a skin such as #Soapbox to administer it?
I've considered that, because I have domains and I pay for hosting anyway. How big of a schlepp is keeping up with version updates, blocking the main bad servers, etc.?
Don’t know. I will find out I guess. This lives on a tiny server running #Pleroma. I really like #Soapbox front end, @alex has done an amazing job. I am still learning a lot everyday, πŸ™‚

The part I like about hosting my own server is the freedom and flexibility. I can β€˜watch the world go by’ from my own instance. Follow whoever I want to follow.
