Dear everyone -- Please support the admin of your instance. Go to Name of server/about to find out how your admin can accept donations.

They don't get paid and the #TwitterMigration has increased the cost of hosting a server. Every time EM does something moronic, there's a sudden influx.

Be kind, be patient. Your server may have another slowdown as we're all online and more people are signing up. Give your admin some time.

@legallaurak Why I joined the Patreon for Fosstodon.org.
@legallaurak Already set up a small Patreon sub for Universeodon.
@legallaurak Hi Laura,
I just joined mastodon when I saw George Takei's post. Good for you being a lawyer and working on the environment. Now we have a mass of tornadoes in December. What happened to "October,all over?"
@legallaurak @Snoweider ā€œName of serverā€ - is that on the web version? Can’t find anything on Toot!

@tombarkas @Snoweider It just means the name of your instance. Mine is mstdn.social, yours is mas.to. Those are actual URLs, you can look up any instance on the web even if it’s not yours.

Is that what you’re asking?

@legallaurak @Snoweider No, I meant where do you go to find ā€œname of server/aboutā€
@tombarkas @legallaurak so go to the mas.to webpage, and go to their about page and the info is all there.
@legallaurak @Snoweider OK, I expect I’m being very stupid. If I put mas.to into Firefox and go there, where is ā€œAboutā€?
@tombarkas @legallaurak no idea abiut firefox but for me it's on this page here. Which is the page for your instance. Your own profile also links to it via the 3 dots in the sidebar.
@legallaurak @Snoweider@ Found it! Move to the far right of the screen, then down as far as you can go! Sorry!
@tombarkas sorry for confusion! It seems for some instances if you type in the name of server/about it takes you right there, when I type https://mstdn.social/about it takes me straight to the About page.

@legallaurak I’ve been trying to reply to your previous toot, but it claims it doesn’t exist.

My reply was ā€œhah! I never thought of that, but I AM very very oldā€!
