Not gonna lie, this report is impressive, and every Mastodon instance should publish something like this every month. I have an account on mstdn.ca, and this is the kind of thing that would encourage me to move my main account from mastodon.social to mstdn.ca (although I would still support Eugen’s Patreon for his work on Mastodon, which benefits all instances). Staying put for now, though.

State of the Instance - November 2022

Cliquez ici pour le français I'll start off with this: It's been one hell of a month for Mastodon Canada. Introduction The instance grew from less than 60 users to what is now 24 500 users in the span of just two weeks. It went from an experiment to a

Colorado Springs mass shootings is horrific but you know who stopped the bad guy with a gun? Good guys WITHOUT guns.

Enough with the thoughts and prayers.They haven't decreased the prevalence of these heinous acts!

Guns. It's the frikkin guns! Do something about them.

I see a lot of people migrating here & then not posting anything because they're waiting until that other site dies. Commit a bit. Post some things, interact, get to know what this place is about. You'll never know what it's like here unless you do. You might be surprised that maybe you don't need that other site. We need to commit to rejecting Musk's treatment of his employees, his interference in democracy, his moulding the world the way he wants. #twitter #twitterexodus #twittermigration

I am heartbroken by this news. 5 are dead and 18 wounded from this horrific armed assault at a gay club hosting a drag show night in Colorado Springs.

An attack upon our community anywhere is an attack upon us all everywhere. My heart is with the victims and their families.

Certainly not a slam on mental illness (anxiety an depression diagnosis here) but if the majority of people exhibit symptoms of a mental illness, is it an illness or standard operating procedure?

Maybe a reframing conversation is in order?

I know different MI are more prevalent in different societies, suggesting cultural norms drive different stressors but it's also the case that prevalence is also increasing. Not just increased awareness.

Serious curiosity for better understanding

I didn't think anything could break my unhealthy doomscrolling habit on the bird site. Turns out all it needed was a fascist insurgency. I'm finally free, and all it cost was everything.

Feet crunching on gravel is a pleasant sound, as long as you're not hiding from someone.

@atomicpoet Many hosting services have so-called "one click" apps to install Mastodon for yourself. I'd rather understand more of what's going on under the hood so I don't use these apps but it could be a good choice for some people. Here's one example from Digital Ocean but I'm sure that many other hosting providers have similar options. https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon
