My best advice: RUN! Of course, this is tongue-in-cheek. This is the first of two essays I am writing on teaching theory.

This essay is largely devoted to what I think is a nasty hangover in the guise of inertia: the insistence that we teach classical theory as required.
Hey Ya'll! I was thinking of hosting my own Mastodon Instance, but noticed that it's pretty big as in software, I'm looking for something a bit more light. I'm preferably looking for something that runs in docker, as I have that installed on my Linux book, Yes, I am using Linux as if I attempted to use Windows, MacOS I wouldn't have a great time.

GoToSocial is designed for small / single user instances. There’s more with similar goals like snac, seppo, pub, ktistec, tapir, shuttlecraft, activities.next, and microblog.pub, but I haven’t really looked into them so I’m not sure on the status of each. There’s a nice list of activitypub software at delightful fediverse apps if you want to look at more options.
Yup, this is what they do. Even if it does work, it doesn’t matter, because they’ll just create a new subscription category and opt you back in. It’s illegal, but laws without enforcement are just ink and paper.
