  • Most of them are bash scripts as they usually don’t need any specific tools installed and run out of the box. When it gets more complicated (especially if there are lots of asynchronous and parallel tasks) I go to Node.js / Typescript. This is maybe a little bit of an oddball, but there are plenty of tools to create CLI binaries that can run independently and working asynchronously is really easy. I like the language a lot more than I like Python – I haven’t tried Go yet.


















  • If you don’t plan on supporting this for at least a few years I would say no.

    If you don’t expect to have a decent local userbase I would say no (local in the sense of a common interest, e.g. it might be useful to host an instance for all members of even a small company if you expect a decent amount of posts).

    If it’s just you and your family (let’s be honest: it’s just you) I would say no.

    The fediverse can federate, but if everyone is using their own server it’s just a fancy peer to peer network.
