#InstanceAdminDay

Does anyone have suggestions for groups to join, or websites to frequent, regarding #Mastodon #Instance administration?

#InstanceAdminDay #Devops

#Pleroma -- my Blog post yesterday on Pleroma as an Alternative to Mastodon was surprisingly well received.

I have received messages from various people, asking for recommendations of good Pleroma instances to join.

And i am working on it. Serious. As I write here, I am logged in and chatting with friends I just met, all in various Pleroma nodes, that responded to my #introductions post there, thanking the admin for the service.

I will prepare a detailed Blog post, with more suggestions and reasons, but for now, kudos and a mention are appropriate.

Highly Recommended -- FAB

Also known as the German instance with the impossible to remember name, which is *completely accurate*.

Thank you to @absturztaube

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!

@koyu Trending Now.

And I am glad and proud to be part of it.

Happy #InstanceAdminDay to @jess @salt for offering me this alternative social platform just when I was so tired of everything else.
Also thanks to @dimlau 是你无意留在Zhihu 的邀请码让我第一次进入了Mastodon
还有其他各位站长包括 @bgme @stand @kishinami
@lianghuan Thank you for your contribution to the Fediverse

差点忘了新晋随时跑路站长 @flyover

Happy #InstanceAdminDay all you wonderful Instance Administrators. Donating your time and in most cases your money to provide forums for people to access the Fediverse from.

I like holidays that benefit me as much as the next person, so I encourage vigorous participation in #InstanceAdminDay.

If you wanna make me proud, and you’re in a financial position to do so, please consider donating to the ACLU, the SPLC, or another charity fighting racism. Don’t do it in my name, either, or even tell me you’ve done it because it’s not about me. Just quietly be a positive change in the world and make it nicer for all of us.

Tom, you deserve for sure -- smaller instances take a lot of love and dedication, and can sometimes be so expressive, customized and crafted to serve the needs of their user base. I think yours is a good example.

I made a Blog post back in January which I really enjoyed, and think is a Good Read for users interested in learning and exploring.

Re-reading it, I still like, and think it's due to a volume 2 sometime soon (6 months and things evolve, I have found other interesting instances and reasons for considering them; from the software they use to the improved conditions they offer.)

That Blog is at :

Is it Important, which Instance you are in? : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/is-it-important-which-instance-you-are-in

...and a follow up is on the clipboard plans stage. Thank you!

I want thank my fellow instance admins out there! I know it's not always the easiest! I run my instance totally out of pocket.. and I know others do the same. Thank you for your dedication and time! Happy #InstanceAdminDay ​ !

@realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social
and I checked in and added a follow to Puniko - hers seems to be a nice Pleroma instance, with SO MUCH more than the vanilla masto with 500 chars Toots allowed (and unbending admins when you request some more)

Will visit and check out Facilities -- the front page has some hints of a good place to be!

* 60, 000 (60 Thousand!!) characters limit, take that, Eugen.

* choice of the Pleroma UI/Front End -or- the more mastodon user friendly Mastodon FE (which is the Elite Glitch-Social variety -- so lots of new and improved features compared to masto.social variety)

* As in ALL Pleroma instances, rich formatted text is a Human Right -- and I absolutely love the posts I have been creatign with #MarkDown at Glitch-social instances I have recently joined.

Another pinprick to Eugen, lol... Don't gimme what I want, I am out, friend.

Kudos, thank you and appreciation to Puniko!

I see #InstanceAdminDay is trending, which is lovely, but the nicest thing you can do is invite your friends and family to come see our independent, privacy-focussed, harassment-free servers.

I'm betting I'm not the only one who is doing this to take back the Web from megacorps and trolls who are killing the spirit of freedom, egalitarianism and empowerment that the Web was always supposed to be.

We need your help, so make it your goal to bring 1 new person to the #Fediverse! Share the love

@stux Happy #InstanceAdminDay for the admin that changed the way that I see social networking!
Without you, I wouldn't have stayed in this amazing community.
Keep this server strong.

#InstanceAdminDay is trending already!

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.
