Registrations to atomicpoet.org will forever be closed.

A few people have asked to join atomicpoet.org, and I’m not taking on new members. This will always exist as a single-user server (mostly).

Conceptually, I think it’s important for people to see single-user servers operating and thriving.

You don’t have to join some random person’s server, pray to god they’re good moderators, and hope they don’t pull a mastodon.lol.

You can just create a server yourself, manage how you feel fit, and enjoy it as a spot that’s truly your own.

If you have the skills to manage it, you can create a Mastodon server on Digital Ocean (or something similar) via 1-click install. It’s easy to get started, though there is still much work that needs to be done.

Now I realize not everyone is a SysAdmin who enjoys tinkering around with databases and delivery queues.

Which is why @reiver and I (and others) are working hard on #SpaceHost, which is a fully managed hosting service.

For the first time this week, we’re letting someone join #SpaceHost as a customer. They will likely be creating a Lemmy server.

My point is, creating your own server is feasible. I’ve done it. This specific Pleroma server has been in operation since Novemeber 2022.

It is truly my spot on the Fediverse – and I love it.
