Crazy idea #2 : (by crazy, I mean that I am not actually likely to start such a project on my own)
How about a #linux distro dedicated to self hosting and federated services, such as #Nextcloud, #Mastodon or #Matrix / #XMPP with a focus on average non-tech-savy users.
It should come with packages so that getting your instances up and running is as easy as `apt install [...]` ang going through easy and intuitive configuration wizards with detailed steps for DNS registration, port fwd et al.

Sort of working but not sure if Federating?

Can any social media platform keep to any ethical ideal or are people just fundamentally rubbish?
Hello @ChrisWere
just watched your PeerTube video:

@imattau made the brilliant suggestion to interview the people behind interesting Fediverse accounts and app devs.
+1 from me.
Conspiracy theorists were yeeted by security out of a hospital in #Colchester, North #Essex, after taking photographs of empty corridors in outpatients claiming the "hospital isn't in crisis" - its normal practice to keep corridors well clear for safety reasons, and even more so during a pandemic - also photography in a hospital has always been forbidden without authorisation to protect patient privacy (this predates GDPR or the Covid 19 emergency)
