Ozone, #Bluesky's tool for providing moderation services to the community, is surprisingly "simple" to install.

Not everyone can install it. But all you need is a Docker-enabled server.

By comparison, installing a #Mastodon instance is a lot more complicated.

I'm definitely not a system administrator. But at the end of 2022, I tried to install a #Mastodon instance on a virtual private server.

I was never able to get the instance to work, even if I carefully followed the instructions.

Things may have improved since then though.

I agee with @aral that things need to be easy to deploy, and maintain.

@zleap @aral To be fair to Mastodon, Ozone is a much smaller service.

Mastodon is a full-fledge social network app, with a lot of underlying services and moving parts. In comparison, Ozone is "only" a moderation service.
