My replacement for "Bikers.Social" has been created. The new server goes by "The Moto Network" and can be found at https://social.themoto.network

I'm still in the process of fine tuning it so for now you have to request an invite. If you sign up, mention "Bikers
Social" in the reason box and I'll approve you.

I've copied the server description and rules from Bikers.Social but I'll make them our own as time goes on. If the first few weeks go well, I'll open up registrations to not require review.

Okay I'm going to bite the bullet. I am setting up a new Mastodon instance to replace Bikers.Social, which is sadly going away.

I just bought the domain name and am beginning to set up the server. 🤞

I'm also figuring out how to do GitHub Sponsors so I can recoup the domain cost and save up enough to move to proper servers.

❓ If I started a new motorcycle-focused Mastodon instance, would you use it? Would you occasionally donate a tiny amount of money?

I'm asking because this instance, Bikers.Social, is going away at the end of the month. I don't know where to migrate to and am wondering if a new instance makes sense.

So Bikers.Social is going away.... now what? 😔

Find an alternative? (I've only seen 1 so far)

Start a new one?

Give up a dedicated motorcycle social account all-together?

🏍️ May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month!

Spread the word. More importantly, share the news with non-riders so they can learn to look out for us on the road. 👍🏼
