It's here! Mstdn.games is a new #gaming instance on #Mastodon!

It's brand new and we're excited to have #gamers from all walks of life come join us.

sign up here --> https://mstdn.games

It is our top priority that this is a safe and friendly space for everyone. We hope many find a home here. User capacity is limited in order to keep everything running smoothly, keep costs under control, and prevent bot account creation.

See you there!

Tomorrow is the day.

Tomorrow we launch.

To all Mastodon-admins: seems like there's an attack on all instances by troll accounts. Servers get slow because of it.
They use thousands of subdomains of activitypub-troll.cf. My 'pull' queues skyrocketed.

I now blocked the domain activitypub-troll.cf and all is back to normal. Please check if you're hit too.

When I was a kid, I wanted to live in the future.

Now I'm here, I've changed my mind.

I just graphed Mastodon's MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS each day for the month of November.

At the end of October there were 496K active users, and at the end of November there are 2.6M -- that's 424% growth.

This is just ACTIVE users; there are millions more non-active accounts.

(For comparison, Twitter allegedly has 396.5M monthly active users, or about 152x the active userbase of Mastodon.)

Valve is going to #giveaway a 512gb #SteamDeck every minute of #TheGameAwards. You can #register now and get ready, as well as get a free #Steam #Pal sticker!

There are some restrictions, including being in the US, UK, EU, or Canada, and needing to have purchased a game between November 14 2021-2022, but it’s awesome regardless!
