does anyone want to run/admin a pleroma or mastodon instance for me and take full responsibility for managing it? quote me a price, i am happy to pay.

Would you be interested in this one, @amolith? Don’t worry, despite the name, @sneak is not sneaky at all.

@cnx @sneak I certainly wouldn't mind it, but I do know that there are other people on fedi creating services specifically for this and don't want to step on their toes
https://fediverse.express
https://tribes.host
https://cofespace.com
https://masto.host

My personal recommendation would be fediverse.express because I know who runs it and they do a great job.

If you don't think any of them are a good fit, though, I'd be happy to manage everything. I think $15/mo would be reasonable: ~$5 for a VPS from Hetzner that gives you some room to grow and ~$10 for labour/daily tarsnap backups

@sneak any catch in terms of unusual constraints or requirements? Something that masto host or the other "established" names can't/won't do?

I've been meaning to get communick into custom hosting. How about 200€/year for a fully managed pleroma?

@raphael that seems on the upper end of a little expensive but probably doable. can you keep all my keys and identifiers the same from my masto instance?

@sneak

Honestly you'd be the very first customer for custom hosting. I believe that migrating is possible and I've done already for non-critical instances, but not automatically.

Not to create false expectactions, some trial-and-error will be involved.

If you are more pressed for time, perhaps @alex can be of more help.
