      This is about making your own personal instance of a microblog that’s ActivityPub enabled. It’s much lighter than running Mastodon that’s mean to be a hosting platform for a lot of users.

            What is a VPS? If it’s a server, there’s nothing new here. I thought it’s a 2 in 1 client+server technology like you can do in old Minecraft Java versions (your machine is both a server and a client of its own server)

              Yes, it’s a virtual server that you can get from a provider like Digital Ocean. It’s not running on your machine locally, it’s the same thing that the admins of Mastodon instances have to do to run Mastodon servers.
