I've seen a lot of people asking about DMs here. I wrote an article about this today, but thought it'd be more useful to just say it in a post: Privacy is not the purpose of DMs. DMs are a courtesy to your followers. You’re communicating with another user directly because the information is of no value to anyone else, and there’s no reason to flood other people’s timelines with irrelevancies. Do not use DMs to discuss personal or sensitive information. (Use Signal).
@patricia no, the default mastodon. I followed a tutorial that said 1GB would be fine but it was a little unreliable when I set it up…
@patricia huh I’ll have to see if I can get my memory footprint down somehow
@patricia what stats are you using for your server? I had to upgrade from a t4g.micro to a t4g.small (AWS EC2) because I kept getting transient server errors, I think due to maxing out 1GB of RAM. Sadly small isn't free tier anymore.
@patricia disappointing how few of my twitter follows have published mastodon handles so far...
