@packetcat I set up coales.co primarily as a way to get (back) into the fediverse, as it seemed more vibrant and a much better experience than GNU social was before it, and I wanted to experience it from the perspective of having my own server vs just joining someone else's. Even in 2017 joining mastodon.social did not appeal (not just because of the technical challenges it was having in response to the First Big Wave lol).
My experiences and frustrations with it greatly motivated migrating to the #Hometown fork, and if I didn't have to worry about earning a living during most of my waking hours I would probably have already developed and migrated to a totally different fedi app of my own (which would of course continue to interoperate and feature posting notes but would be quite different otherwise...something much more closely resembling a modern take on a FidoNet or Citadel BBS).
