Image Transcription:
A one-panel XKCD-style comic with the title “The Self-Hoster” One character is seated at a computer, talking to a second character standing behind their chair. Character one says: “It took all weekend, but now that I have a Mastodon instance running in Docker behind a reverse proxy with cloud-provided media storage, I can enjoy interacting with a federated network of other users without compromising on privacy or content moderation.” Character two replies: “Cool, what kinds of topics does your network discuss?” Character one replies: “Our experiences self-hosting Mastodon instances, mostly.”

The only mistake I see is attributing the work to XKCD.
Hm, I guess I assumed based on the style. It’s an edit? I’m not really sure what to call it then. I’ve edited my post but if you have any suggestions please let me know.
It’s an original work in the style of XKCD
XKCD is amazing.
Randall Monroe has provided me with weekly nibbles of entertainment for nearly 2 decades. But this was inspired by his style, not created by him.
Self hosted
