Thank you for accepting me onto mastodon.green during the great bird migration of late 2022.
I am going to try to migrate to mastodon@fediscience now that I have been invited there. I've donated 50 AUD to mastodon.green through patreon. It may not clear until 10 Dec, which was my renewal date; once it does, I'll cancel my mastodon.green subscription.
I'll send a note to everyone on mastodon.green after I've finished migrating.
Thanks again,
Penny

I do not like the vapid fads
I do not like the clout it’s given
I do not like its algorithm
But I shall miss that weird bird town
I do not like it burning down
