⚠️ Daily reminder that new folks are joining Mastodon everyday. You could make their day by interacting with their #introduction toot, giving them a follow or just saying hi.
Let’s build the community we want to see. One built on being kind, genuine interaction, and building others up as we’d like them to do for us 🤗

@tchambers @Gargron @atomicpoet @leolaporte @elipariser @profcarroll No crime to "lock the doors". The idea that servers need to scale to new users is not decentralized thinking. Know your resources; accept users to that level; stop.
If there aren't enough Mastodon servers to meet the demand, that's not a fault of the server admins, Mastodon, or the Mastodon community. Someone else needs to step up.
