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.
