@realcaseyrollins@civiq.social @realcaseyrollins Yes, it's time consuming and difficult to bulid a totally new idea into a platform - Eugen did really well, but the work is ongoing, continues and he dedicates himself to that full time.

With school and work at the same time, it's hard for you to take on anything like that. But keep the idea and maybe mention it if you find someone who could take it on and succeed.

If you think about creating a personal instance, I would suggest GlitchSoc -- it's the cutting edge of mastodon development and has many nice new features. Like it a lot!
