[Edit: I'd like to request no more boosts for this post for now - my DMs are still open to, and please do still forward this to specific folks you think might be interested. I've got so many responses that it's going to take me a while to get to all of them - which I will. ❤️ you all for being so supportive of this idea.]

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?

I'll pay the bills. Period.

I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.

DM me.

@ricci what's the catch?

@electricmood none. I want to see the fediverse be a place that is open to more people, and this is the simplest way I can think of to help that happen

@ricci @smolbrain @electricmood god damn, man. Way to write the rallying cry for every fedi admin on the planet.

@ricci Computers and I are love-hate. (If rom-com tropes were life, I should have fucked HAL. God, so annoying, but I can't stay away!)
