FYI: We have a few blockers on to opening up DEFCON.social:

1. A different mail server so the main defcon.org doesn't get potentially marked as a spam source

2. A media server that can speak S3 Block Storage to Mastodon. This is critical for scaling.

3. More Moderators. We are building out our moderator plan and will be seeking support soon.

Once we have all three done we will open, until then we will control growth with invite links.

For 1 (mail server) we should have that outsourced and tested by the end of this weekend. For 2 (Media server) we have the hardware and are starting to configure it once mail server is complete, so hopefully early next week. And the third (Moderators) I hope the plan will be done and more core moderators added by the middle of next week.
