I'm seeing from friends who admin Mastodon instances that the big public instances are having yet another mega-spike in new user signups.

Of course, #SignsAndCodes is still its little ol' cozy self and always will be. Everything is easier when you only have a handful of personal friends as the regular users.

But bless those folks on the mega-servers. I don't know how they're keeping everything up and keeping their sanity.

@roadriverrail You still up for hosting a transfer? I would like to get off .social for reasons like this one.

@mcmcgreevy I'm happy with this, and I'm tagging @epilanthanomai to vouch personally and publicly that I've known you for decades and know you're the sort of kind, just, creative, and thoughtful person we'd love to have locally.

We're invite-only, so I have to figure out how transferring works in light of that.

@mcmcgreevy Looks like I just need to give you an invite. Can you contact me off-Fedi to give it? Email is fine, LinkedIn is fine, too. I just don't want an invite code moving through the Fediverse.
@roadriverrail Sent you a text a few weeks ago, but maybe I have an old number or you don't have my new one? I have a gmail account and a weatherlight account associated with you in my contacts.
@mcmcgreevy gmail; the weatherlight account is long gone
