that makes it two of us! I've used GNU for over 33 years, and GNU social (and its earlier incarnations) for 16 years next month. it's not without a lot of sadness that I decided to leave GNU social behind, but I'm just not competent to install, run and maintain so much code in a programming language I'm not competent at, and I did not feel so comfortable on an instance whose announcements I couldn't understand (it will be years before I can read enough Japanese for that), and that appears to request contributions from its members in ways I couldn't contribute or even understand. I didn't wish to be a burden, so I figured I had to run my own instance, and then I came across a fediverse server that is free software, lightweight and written in a programming language I'm fluent at, so my path became clear. I hope you carry the torch and keep the flame alive for a very very long time! live long and prosper in freedom! thanks,
