"When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that John Mastodon carried you."
I always imagined running Mastodon to be something like the worst parts of retail, food service and an office job mixed with about 25mL of thanks per year.
Show @Gargron and crew some some love.

Did you know that @stux
has a bite strength of 1,800psi?
That's the same as a Hippopotamus!
Poor Stuxy, going through retainers just grinding those teeth to oblivion worrying about how to keep the server running.
We can help!
Let's keep Stuxy stocked with titanium retainers and alleviate that stress with DONATIONS!

😎 I heard the cool kids hang out on Universeodon 😎
@wild1145 is probably the reason.
The reason the fanny pack came back into fashion? Them. The reason bell bottoms, jelly bracelets and Hypercolor have not? also them.

Canada is known for many things.
One of the best movies of all time, "Strange Brew" and maple syrup.
Canada is known for two things.

It's finally time for Wandering.shop!
From the lovely and talented @Johannab
"Wandering.shop was established in 2017 and is an instance focused on SF&F writing and fandom. It is run by a somewhat anarchist small collective of tech-inclined members who operate as @proprietor
"The lights are kept on using personal funds and donations from generous members"

A wise man once said:
"Party hard!
(Party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard)
Party hard!
(Party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party, party, party hard)
Party hard!"
The staff at @staff know this universal truth and their server abides by its simple principles

A BIG thank you to admin teams who run the servers that make the Fediverse possible!
And I want to thank everyone who donated and boosted!
❤️ You are all what make the Fediverse so special ❤️
The response to this has been overwhelmingly positive so let's make this a yearly thing. First Sunday in April.
🚀 Next year, more people, more donations and more awesome people to share with 🚀

📣Consider supporting your instance(s) and the volunteers behind the scenes, if you are able.
My instances on the Fediverse keep my posts available and protected, so I donate to:
🎉 Mastodon: mindly.social (with a higher calling! @KuJoe) and mstdn.plus
🎉Videos: Spectra.video
🎉Photos: Pixtagram.social
Check out this thread to see if your instance is mentioned.
🥹 Elephant baby!
We don’t have one (yet!!!) but if anyone would like to join our fediverse writers’ cafe (and bring a baby elephant) we always have an invite code you can get from any member.
It’s just a groove we found to grow in, we’re not “closed” so much as we have a terribly kept secret handshake.
@flexghost Oh, no wait -wandering.shop is NOT a coop. We have a "by invite" policy but that's just a homegrown sign-up approval option.
CoSocial.ca IS the co-op.
Two instances - one admin in common (sorry, @Johannab and @johannab and a few more are a bit of a chaos goblin identity).
Not only does Jerry run 15 different platforms on the Fediverse, he also has more than just two donation links! 
So like Pokemon, I collected them all; one for each of the 4 platforms he hosts which I use regularly. Thank you Jerry!!!!! ❤️
