It's with a heavy heart that I'm announcing the closure of this mastodon instance after 2 years. Due to multiple factors with getting finance for the server and now the UK law changes for social media sites plus the burden of moderation this server will close forever on the 28th of Feb 2025. If anyone would like to take full ownership I'm happy to transfer please contact me via email [email protected]. #aws #mastoadmin #mastodon
