Mastodawn

🎺.☕️ ANNOUNCEMENT:

I will be upgrading toot.cafe tonight to a beefier instance, and then I will open up registrations again tomorrow so that more friends can join.

My goal is to reach something around 600-1000 people. If we mostly get JavaScript/Node/web/etc folks and that becomes the culture, then great, but I'm also open to just allowing whoever in.

My main goal is that we reach a critical mass where it's a bit easier for newbies to get started. Small instances are a tad lonely.

And for those worried about cost, I'm paying like $80 per months right now, which is totally fine with me since I just love Mastodon and want to spread it to new people.

That's less than my T-Mobile bill, and also only half the cost of my stupid web projects on AWS that are years old and serve little purpose other than vanity. So… yeah it's worth it to me.

But I may ask for donations later as we scale up. Happy to take them if you like toot.cafe. ❤️
