Yeah. I'm surprised businesses haven't been quicker to setup self-hosted Mastodon as their primary, and then mirror that to Twitter and Bluesky and such, for disaster recovery protection.

    Businesses I understand because that involves listening to your tech guy and approving time for it, and businesses hate spending money, even if it wouldn't really cost them that much in practice. They have a lot of institutional inertia.

    You'd need something that is literally only a few clicks and it's set up, and it auto updates with 0 user intervention. Until that happens your typical business will never want to touch their own hosted mastodon server.

    Yeah. I think we're waiting for the kind of installers and updaters that WordPress achieved before we see typical businesses running their own Mastodon server.

    But I do think many organizations have got the risk/reward wrong, by underestimating the risk, at the moment.
