Mastodon erhält neue Hosting- und Support-Angebote, die auf größere Organisationen und öffentliche Einrichtungen zugeschnitten sind. Diese ermöglichen es ihnen, ihre eigene soziale Identität auf ihrer eigenen Infrastruktur zu besitzen.
Ideal für Unis, Institute, Stiftungen oder NGOs um eine resiliente und kontrollierbare Kommunikation aufzubauen, unabhängig von BigTech.
Auch Schulen können eigene Instanzen für souveränes social media aufbauen.

I don't disagree with suggestions that the UK public sector should have less reliance on the big-three (American) cloud providers. But this has been a concern for more than a decade, and people should at least be aware of both the "GOV.UK PaaS" and UKCloud.

Migrating our data from GOV.UK Platform as a Service (PaaS) to Amazon Web Services (AWS) – MHCLG Digital
After learning that GOV.UK’s hosting platform PaaS is being decommissioned, the Energy Performance of Buildings Register team decided to migrate all their hosting to AWS. In this post, Barry, Developer, explains what they did.

Note that this isn’t a criticism about anyone working on the Mastodon code or the many selfless people who host servers and spend time on moderation and money on hosting.
I’m not saying all this to be an asshole.
I care about people, software and the web and it’s really annoying that there isn’t a well working alternative to commercial platforms that I can recommend to “normal” people.
I’ve been using Mastodon for close to nine years now I think and I just don’t see it getting where it needs to be.
