Just a heads up that I'm shutting down this Mastodon instance on Sep 15th, 2023. It's been running for well over 9 months now and 99% of the accounts have not connected in the last 7-8 months.
Only like 5 people actually ever posted anything, including myself, and most of that was in the firs 30 days 😭
It costs about $50 a month to run, and it just doesn't make sense to keep it going since we're not using it.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Just checking to see if folks are actually using this @sfcc.social Mastadon Instance. Looks like a few dozen accounts got created in January and only like 3-4 people logged in after that. Only 1-2 people have even posted.
If it's not useful, we can shut it down. What does everyone think?
So, last weekend, my wife and I were walking around town, and overhear a woman shout:
"Now YOU'VE got the fart"
... and that's all we heard ( it sounded like an old 80's commercial )
The rest of the day we laughed as we tried to figure out in what context that made sense.
So now you too get to join me in figuring out what the heck they were talking about.
Yes, I realize this is unprofessional. No, I don't care. I need answers, ha ha.
Here's a fun image I made in the meantime.
Looks like an SSL cert failed to renew for @sfcc.social that might have blocked a few folks from accessing their Mastadon account for a bit.
I got a notice right away and had it back up and running in about 10 minutes. Also fixed the issue that blocked the SSL auto renew from working ;)
Sorry for the service interruption.
I'm kind of dying from laughter that Twitters own fact checking system reported the Tweet from Twitter Devs regarding third-party app lockouts as factually inaccurate.

Keyword Filter Tip:
Sometimes simple keywords pick up longer words. If you add a keyword filter for “Elon”, it will also filter posts with the word "belong" or "felony".
Solution:
Regular Expressions. Go to your filters tab by holding down on one of the last 3 tab buttons. Add Keyword and enter \(space)yourkeyword(space). You should also see a new "Regex" option appear when you hit that backslash. Turn that on. Test your results by scrolling down and checking "Matching Posts”.
