Installed #yunohost yesterday on my Proxmox home server to fiddle around and was about to deploy #GoToSocial. But this "Danger" Box in the docs, saying the domain will be taken forever by this instance of GTS scares me. Or is this the case for every #ActivityPub Server anyway?
I thought, only the full handle like "@user@social.domain.net" can be problematic when being refused because of caching and generated keys. Any experience with that? docs.gotosocial.org/en/v0.22.0…

Working on a brand new post for my series "a newbie's guide to self-hosting with #YunoHost" - showing people how to set up their own #GoToSocial microblogging instance.
Sorry it's been taking a while: I started over when I realized most people use subdomains... and I'm doing a thorough step-by-step explainer that any newbie could follow - I hope 😅
by the way @dumpsterqueer won't ever see this toot, in their profile they explicitly mention that their instance mutes mastodon.social due to poor moderation.
I recommend you use a subdomain (ex. social.yourdomain.tld) for you GTS instance. If later you decide you want to try Snac, use a new subdomain (ex. snac.yourdomain.tld). If later you decide snac is better, use Activity Pub account migration feature to migrate your account (followers, etc.) from social.yourdomain.tld to snac.yourdomain.tld.
This is how it is supposed to work on the fediverse. :)
Then a month or so later, you can delete GTS and reclaim social.yourdomain.tld for another usage.
