    Any public facing IT system stood up in the higher ed system I am familiar with, requires IT support to be engaged. A part of that process is sending the request through a software review board, department’s IT, centralized IT, and then assigned to a project manager.

    Otherwise, it would be considered a rogue service, and turned off at the edge, and core routers.

      Right, but why would a scientist set up a mastodon server within their work place? If I were to do it (and I did set up a diaspora instance back in the day), it would be off my own bat, not on work machines.

      If I wanted my workplace to do it, that would be a different story, and I’d argue for it to be done by the IT team…
