Aus.Social AdminUpdate: Signups are open again. I will close them if we get slammed too much. 
The plan is open for a few thousand people, then close to make sure it's stable, then open again. (Stable in both technical and moderation)

Steph@aussocialadmin Well done! ❤️
Susanbee@aussocialadmin Good luck.
@aussocialadmin Thanks, I appreciate all you do on this server instance. You’ve done a great job of keeping it all running in spite of the massive influx of new users.
Anna Dreamshard@aussocialadmin Thank you for making space for us!
Young Da Boss@annadreamshard @aussocialadmin pls follow back
@young_5050 @aussocialadmin I don’t think it works the same way here — follow people that you think are interesting and start a conversation!
PS. I mostly follow / boost US Pol so no worries if you unfollow if that’s not your jam. Cheers!

Used to teach@aussocialadmin

Many thanks.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.@aussocialadmin out of interest, how many users do we have on Aus.social now?
@fortescue about 17,000 accounts.. about half of them in use atm. which is pretty cool
@aussocialadmin wow, 17k! That’s huge.
vertikar@aussocialadmin @fortescue how many before the mass migration started?
Looking for explanations…@aussocialadmin Btw, having trouble with Patreon. Want to give!
Kate Bowles@aussocialadmin Thank you for everything, all of it.
StephenInGA@kate @aussocialadmin Same logic as when drinking lots of beer!
Stuart Mackenzie@aussocialadmin Well done. Thanks for all the good work.
MarkL@aussocialadmin Thanks, it would appear that I am one of the few thousand
Bernard Sheppard@aussocialadmin Thanks! I just signed up (I won't say accidently, because it was intentional - I've been watching for them to open), but as a result of following dbRaevn's profile link from that bird site) and seeing the opportunity to sign up, instead of the opportunity to copy and paste the address. Because I've got my own webfinger set up, searches for @ bj @ sheppo.au now resolve here :)
Blackheath Weather@aussocialadmin That is so smart. Real social media IQ at work there, not proclaimed IQ like the Bird Man does. Cheers.
The Buzz@aussocialadmin thank you. It's amazing how you've been able to offer this fabulous haven for every #Twitterrefugee
Black Cat@aussocialadmin newbie here, thanks for letting us bird site escapees in
captainpants@aussocialadmin Fantastic. Great Move. Well done Angus.
Alastair Craig@aussocialadmin Thanks for giving us unruly masses a shot. I hope it goes smoothly for all! 🤞

pix@aussocialadmin I was just sending some links to a "mastodon curious" friend and noticed fedifinder.glitch.me is listing aus.social as closed. Is this a fedifinder-problem or is some metadata out of sync?
@pix metadata. We should be open for now, but we change open and close pretty regularly.
