Why yes, I definitely did setup a personal Mastadon instance, so I could have this username.
@zedejose I paid for a personal plan on https://masto.host/. I looked into hosting it myself, but even a super cheap cloud host would be about the same price, and then I'd have to administer the server myself.
@gary I did not know about https://masto.host, looks promising.
@zedejose The support has been super responsive so far, no complaints from me. 🙂
@gary would love to hear about the server setup for such a very limited number of users
