"A newbie's guide to self-hosting: GoToSocial part 1 (installation and set-up)"

🔗​: blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbie…

Basically a visual guide showing how to install #GoToSocial via #YunoHost and set it up with some basic security.

⏱️​ From start to finish, it should take about 25-30 minutes.

It's my act of resistance against tech bros... I love the idea of teaching people how to self-host their own social media instance, connected to the fediverse ✌️​❤️​ ​

Thank you @yunohost and @gotosocial for empowering us all!

European institutions seem to be all in when it comes to introducing age verification mandates for citizens in member states: digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/…

I now have daily anxiety thinking about the future of the fediverse.

So how do I channel this fear and turn it into something constructive? I'm going back to writing #selfhosting guides for newbies.

It's a great distraction, which gives me a bit of hope. Especially the next guide, which will cover my favorite fediverse software - #GoToSocial (which is powering this instance) - and how to install and configure it. Your own little home on the fediverse! Lightweight and features-packed.

Surely something like this would fall outside the scope of regulation. Right? Right?
