It's all private and closed so only we 3 use it to communicate and share stories with each other!
You can just disable federation and set everything private so it becomes a little intranet for friends!
#Mastodon is really amazing
@stux people used IRC for this purpose, you don't need memory hog for this

Amazing until you close the lid on your laptop ...
Okay, so you are likely joking? As laptops can be set to do nothing when you close the lid. I like @stux have repurposed a lot of old laptops for this type of service. The great thing is that you can just install a server flavor of your favorite distro, set it up, close the lid and put it away and it just works in the background with minimum space waste
