hakerdefoI've been away from Fosstodon for a while, and on return, I discovered that there was a real chance that Fosstodon would have died, and had it not been for an angel's intervention, I would have been left without a Mastodon instance, so I want to thank that angel, @Gina for not just keeping the light on but also making it shine brighter. Gina, heartfelt thanks for what you did and what you've been doing since then.
Gina@hakerdefo aw thanks but credit should especially go to the new team @krisfreedain @btp @joel @el_on_libera @artfulsodger @chrisafk @emanuel @emneo @fedops @fivespeed @jannem @jimsalter @julianfairfax @Nujtag @nyx @thewk @tsvenson , and to the previous admins @kev and @mike for looking after the instance for years 🫶
Jim Salter@Gina thanks, and right back atcha.
Nobody forced you to build the team you did, and that team is very unlike anything the instance saw before (no disrespect to Kev and Mike, not talking about politics, talking about size and diversity).
I'm with @hakerdefo; kudos to you Gina.

And while we're at it--Gina does a lot more for this instance beyond just having built a moderation team for it. There is a LOT of administative, fundraising, etc type stuff that we mods aren't really a part of, but we can see how active Gina is in them.
Fosstodon would not be what it is today without Gina.
