We had two main questions with setting up our presence on Mastodon -
whether we should run our own server, and whether this should be
open to the community. Running our own server offers some benefits
like greater control and the ability to set our own moderation
policies. This, of course, comes with the need for RIPE NCC staff to
invest time and effort in maintaining this server
We set up our own community/open Mastodon instance
<https://mastodns.net> at DNS-OARC, and found both that running this is
fairly low-maintenance, and also that there are readily available
mastodon-as-a-service providers out there that can make it easier.
The OARC community is rather smaller than the RIPE one, however, so it's
possible that moderation and AUP etc issues may be more significant than
ours.
Overall we've found running our own server to be a positive so far, and
it's good to see RIPE having a Fediverse presence.
