#map Map showing the different geographical poles of inaccessibility on the globe. A pole of inaccessibility is a location that is the furthest away from a set of geographical features, often the coastline. Red dots represent terrestrial poles of inaccessibility (such as the Eurasian pole of inaccessibility), while blue dots represent oceanic poles of inaccessibility (including Point Nemo).

c18.masto.host remains open to new members with an interest in the #18thcentury!
I started this instance on 1 Nov. 2022 in order to establish a home for colleagues in interdisciplinary global #18c studies (with many neighbors joining from #17c and #19c). We had a big push of new members in November and December, along with a donation drive to cover server costs. Early this year, many created placeholder accounts but were not yet ready to dive in. As the community grows, I hope they return!
I would like to apologise to a group of new followers who were placed on a list awaiting approval. I did not know that this was the case. As soon as I became aware of the situation, I promptly accepted their requests.

With the latest wave of users to the #fediverse from the new #TwitterMigration, it really feels like we might have reached a new threshold on #mastodon to catapult the site onto the next phase of its story. Or am I wrong?
