Dear #IOCX Community, big news!

After taking care of our small little corner of the Internet for the last 7+ years, I have decided to move on and transition the reigns.

Now the really good news: The great @jerry has graciously agreed to take care of #IOCX going forward.

@jerry , @tellyworth and I are already working together on the transition and there will likely be some downtime as soon as tomorrow.

Stay safe and have FUN!

Dear #IOCX Community!

You might have experienced a couple of hiccups in the last 2 hours. Well, we are now (finally) up2date with the Mastodon release we are running 🙂

If you like our little corner of the Internets, please consider helping out with the hosting costs (~$300/mo) by donating on our crowdfunding page here: https://buymeacoffee.com/iocx

Dear #IOCX Community,

This post is long overdue. We have a change in our moderation team: @troed has left the instance to return into European waters. We are very grateful for all the work, guidance, and the generally good vibes over the years. Please join me in thanking @troed for his services to our community!

With that, we have a moderator position open - If you are interested in contributing to safety and fun in our little corner of the fediverse, please dm me!

Also, hosting our instance costs roughly $350 per month. We are very grateful for all of you, who have donated through our crowdfunding page in the past - Your support is very much appreciated and you are awesome! If you haven't contributed financially in a while and can afford it, please consider supporting our instance here: https://buymeacoffee.com/iocx
