@laurenshof@indieweb.social @thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange @FediTips@social.growyourown.services @UlrikeHahn@fediscience.org Anecdotally, I have been in contact with a professional association that is cautiously interested in hosting a Mastodon server for (possibly) a few hundred MAU in Germany, but is very scared of the social media liability laws that have gone into effect lately, some of them on pretty short notice.

Talking to them is an interesting mix of β€œwe don't have a mandate to take this kind of risk” and β€œif we can't figure this out, then who can?”

@julian@fietkau.social @laurenshof@indieweb.social @thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange @FediTips@social.growyourown.services this is the kind of situation this new Mastodon service is aimed at, no? https://joinmastodon.org/hosting

There are already many good independent managed hosting services for Masto and Fedi instances such as
https://masto.host or https://fedihost.co or https://cloud68.co

It would be even more centralisation if Mastodon gGmbH was hosting other instances, they would become even more tempting for corporations to buy out.
