Attached: 1 image We've found a new home for ubuntu.social! 🎉 Canonical is stepping in and will facilitate hosting, keeping the instance exactly where it is – no migration needed. If you've been thinking about tidying up your personal data, now's the perfect opportunity before the database transition. Here's to moving forward together!

@admin @popey Sorry to see it go, but I'm sure it's a lot of work for little reward to keep it going. I hope someone closer than myself to the Ubuntu community takes it on though!

@admin Always sad to see a server go.

If anyone is looking for a new, or temporary home, you can import your followers AND posts into our server.
