Years ago, I installed my own server out of sheer technical curiosity. I abandoned it as soon as I found out it worked. Later, I became a consumer, and the buyout made me create a second Mastodon account.

How does it feel to:

...tarnish/abandon a brand 16 years in the making, a brand so strong its verb & obj. forms were ubiquitous in soc. media?
