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

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.
