um actually it's spelled John Mastadon
@annika Hi! I attended XOXO 2012 and am wondering if it would be possible to join the xoxo.zone instance. I'm not on the XOXO slack, as maybe it didn't go back that far? If it's a good fit, I'll contribute to the cause! You may remember my 2012 blog post lol: https://xolotl.org/xoxo-not-an-echo-chamber/
XOXO: Not an Echo Chamber – Nate Angell

@xolotl Hi Nate! It's just for current people in the Slack, sorry I can't offer up an invite
@annika so 2012 XOXO attendees can't join the slack?
@xolotl @annika Hey, Nate… Sorry, registration is only open to pass holders of the most recent year of the festival, and we only started the Slack in 2015. Limiting access in this way helps keep the Slack and Mastodon instance manageable for our small group of volunteer mods. Hope that makes sense.
@andybaio @annika Got it! Makes sense. I'll stop pestering you all ;)
