It is with a very heavy heart that @beardedtechguy and @cliffwade are having to make this announcement, however, it's something that needs to be done. Unfortunately we are going to need to shut down AllThingsTech.social, the Mastodon instance and the blog.

There are several reasons for this, but the biggest reason is the fact that we simply don't have the funds to continue paying the server fees associated with it any longer. (continued...)

@AllThingsTech @beardedtechguy @cliffwade

Sad to see another instance shut down.

At the same time, paging @jgarr, who warned that this would be more common: https://justingarrison.com/blog/2023-04-24-mastodon-is-doomed/

Mastodon Is Doomed

Mastodon won't be the next Twitter, and it's not because of Bluesky. The ideals and execution won't scale.
