I just learned of several more instances that have removed us from block lists.. Im glad to see so many instance admins are willing to listen to reason and have changed their decisions in light of the facts and evidence. From what I hear it wasnt just my emails but the efforts of so many in the community showing support for us. I really appreciate that from all of you.
She **is** here... you bring up an interesting point, I wonder if any of them have donated to their servers, and if they had it would be a huge show of support and not just words...
maybe because she took it down as she doesnt intend to use it? I dunno only she can speak on that...
@johnabs hahaa, sadly, no plans for thanksgiving as im not in america. Sorry i missed your original post.
I always wanted to play with Hg but truth be told, it just doesnt offer anything worth the cost of being such a rarity.
Im curious, now that @kathygriffin has her twitter account back, will she go back to tweeting there at all, if she does will she still be active here?
Anyone hear if she made any comments on this?

As I attempt to go back off grid for the first time in decades, this time with a family in tow, I'm struck by just how much the solar, and by extension renewable energy, industry has changed.
What once was geared towards people living an alternative lifestyle is now centered around making yuppies in the suburbs believe that they're saving the world if they grid-tie some solar panels on their roof and charge their Tesla at home. It's populated by "business managers" who are only interested is seeing how many shoddily done jobs they can slap up in a short amount of time who mask that fact by pretending to care about the environment to their customers.
I have yet to have a positive interaction with anyone in the industry about actual self-sustainability. They just don't care. It's all so....corporate and phony now.
This is a real disappointment in my current life. Can't even drop out of society effectively anymore.
@BE ITs great to have you and im sure you will be a welcome addition to the family...
Yes, YES, shower me with furballs!
@freemo @MrsDi @EubieDrew I, also, spent more time than was probably healthy searching for the right place to land here on Mastodon. If that's the price, then that's the price. Meet The Dude, commonly called Dudely by the kids.
A kitty i rescued (only lasted a day sadly) was named mouse... moose reminded me of her too for the similar name...
Awww what a cutie pie.. my first pet was a black cat named smokey. This reminds me of her.
@freemo @EubieDrew
That we can do! Here is Moose sending wishes for a relaxing weekend and great appreciation for the super cool space we find ourselves in here at QOTO! 😎
