So after too little sleep last night, I was talking to @Posty this morning about how RoCur is so big for me, but how I didn't think it could work here - but then realised that, from a technical point of view, Mastodon is actually a lot better.
Looking at the Twitter approach, if you want to run as a team, you've pretty much got to use Tweetdeck as a client to get different security levels. That's no good for RoCur, as hosts (or curators, I call the person running the account a curator,)
...will be using their regular clients. Which brings me to security. One password for the account, one email address, one phone number - and you're handing that to someone you don't know. What if you have a few admins? That's a lot of people with access to ONE account, and a lot of faith in Twitter Support if something goes wrong.
So how can Mastodon do this so much better?
Set up an instance for the RoCur. It can be just an admin, and a host (which is what I've done here.) But it could also be more than one admin - and a single host account. Admins can use 2FA, host just gets password, admin can stop host deleting account - it's all coming together what you can do on an instance when you scale DOWN.
The challenge is getting the interest to have people host for a week, and move on - but I've seen that on the other side, too.
Let's see how we go.
For now, see https://werworld.org - if anyone fancies doing this over here - and it will likely be very quiet at the start - please do get in touch.
