Leonie, who is the admin of a nice instance I appreciate -- https://Koyu.space/about/
...has posted a nice idea this morning, screenshot added here.
That we should have a new hashtag, #InstanceAdminDay :
* to offer thank yous and appreciation for the work, expense and effort they pour in to keep these services running.
* many times covering the costs out of their pockets.
* and mostly not shown the recognition for all of that
I think it's a GREAT idea, and fully support that. I wrote a Long post here yesterday, showing similar appreciation for the unique openness shown by our local Qoto.org admin and founder.
I also posted a nice LP (my usual is Long Form, as you know), just a few minutes ago, showing appreciation for Nolan Lawson's work, as both a fedi admin and author of an outstanding client.
As an active and opinionated #FediReporter who was dismayed by recent events, including the attacks on Leonie's personal reputation by despicable people, I am joining this.
Let's make it happen. Show some love and kudos to your favourite admins and site staff.
Thanks for all your work, Leonie.
Koyu.space is a wonderful instance, I recommend it to any discerning user looking for a nice Glitch-Social instance.

@design_RG @koyu That sounds very nice ❤️
@stux
Thanks, Stux, I thought it was a great idea too.
And maybe we could use the hashtag -- but leave it always open - so people can post their own tributes any day of the week, anytime they want.
We don't see much appreciation for their efforts, and I know it makes a huge difference even receiving a reply, when you put effort into something.
原来这是#InstanceAdminDay 的起源……真高兴我赶在这一天变成了站长。
So this is the origin of #InstanceAdminDay ... I'm so glad to, after many failures, build my own instance exactly on this day!

I accept gifts in the form of chocolates, electronics, and lap dances :)
