IT'S HERE! THE 3nd ANNUAL FEDIVERSE #PledgeDrive
Think of a public media pledge drive. But instead of smug soft voices and totebags, you get a hungover me
That said...
the Fediverse thrives because individuals invest their time, effort, and resources.
❤️ It's time to show your support ❤️
We'll highlight servers that make the Fediverse special and share ways to donate
🚀 Let's get everyone to help:
- Boost
- Add #PledgeDrive to posts
- Tag people you to join us
LET'S GO!

If you know someone who should see this.......tag them
Big account, small account, doesn’t matter
Just someone who cares about keeping the lights on
If you're a server admin and want your server highlighted today, send me a Private Message
Don’t wait. Message me. I'm about to cure this hangover with mimosas and there's no guarantee today won't end with Flexi letting it ride in Vegas...

Let’s start with the elephant in the room...
mastodon.social
Mastodon is a nonprofit, and it’s been the entry point for a lot of people discovering the Fediverse
No ads. No tracking. No corporate leash
If you’re on it, consider giving back.
If you’re not, nod to the admin team for holding the gate
The amount of grief they get is full-blown retail-customer-support-tier nonsense. Mostly from me but also others.
They deserve some respect

Hey
Did you know the average person sheds over 30,000 dead skin cells every minute?
Well @stux sheds 352,500.
That takes a special kind of person. And Stux brings that same intensity to one of the most beloved instances
Let’s reward Stuxy

Hi-diddly-ho, neighborino! @WhiskeyOmega has a wholesome and positive server!
Which is why I'm smoking and drinking and looking at porn from afar! Cheers!
Always glad a Fedi neighbor like Flanders to keep it positive

Indieweb Social states its "a home for those who build, study, promote - or are just fascinated by - #openweb, #indieweb, #federated & #humanetech practices & tech"
I'll add to that. It's also a place for 80s style nerds like @Tchambers
#PledgeDrive 13/ to sit in the back of the class and giggle until you stare at them

Have you heard the good news?
@mike has risen, and he runs a tight ship over at newsie.social—"a place for journalism professionals, news-people and comms professionals on Mastodon"
However once he was 4 hours late to play a set at the Meadowlands with G'n'R
But that makes him even cooler.

@[email protected] We follow the Mastodon Covenent however we will retain the right to make our own judgements on rule violations. Rule interpretation is subjective so of course you'll need to still make your own decisions on whom to block and not block. However please report anything you find offensive and we'll do our best to make a fair judgement. Also while in transition it might take us a while.
