Still not sure what to do about Fediverse/Masterdon. Choice is between installing a server or writing my own. Writing my own is a bunch of work, which also counts as fun, gives me control, all that jazz. Installing an existing server is (or should be) much less work, but I have to take it's opinion on how things work.
Also, I'm still not convinced that it's worth the effort. I didn't get that much traction on Twitter, and I'm fairly sure that most of the people I'd want to follow have moved, or are planning to.
And I have to remember that a server isn't a client, although I could probably combine the two.
I could write a feed reader (which has the advantage that I could casually subscribe to blogs), or I could write a feed-to-fed gateway (which probably isn't a bad place to start. Hmm)
