MastodonDE is a Mastodon-based social network by Erik Uden, entirely self-hosted in our own server rack in our garage; our own nameservers, our own IP address, long-term we will even become our own ISP. No big tech is involved in any step of the process - if our servers go offline it is entirely our fault and not because AWS has their bi-weekly shutdown!

We make, build, setup, and config livestreams of the server on Twitch and post the entire story of #MastodonDE on this update thread beginning & latest post.

You can find us here on our running instance: @MastodonDE@mastodon.de

Chip in a dime, a dollar, or whatever you can if you feel like it! Our services will always remain free, without ads, and without any algorithms / data analysis. Independent, secure, and without data routes to big tech!
