Last month, Cloudflare https://blog.cloudflare.com/welcome-to-wildebeest-the-fediverse-on-cloudflare/ a new service called https://github.com/cloudflare/wildebeest, allowing Mastodon users to set up and run their own instances on its infrastructure. Wildebeest uses a laundry list of Cloudflare services, including Supercloud, Workers, Pages, Durable Objects, and Queues.

To find out more about Wildebeest and how Cloudflare sees Mastodon and the fediverse evolving, I spoke to the company’s CTO, https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-graham-cumming-519779177/.

He compared Mastodon to “the old world of forums,” where there are different groups for different types of users.

Indeed, that is what Wildebeest is for Mastodon — a hosted service to run that particular open source software.
