I have become anecdotally aware of several (smaller) mastodon instances that are considering shutting down because they cannot afford their server bills.
If you are a #mastodonadmin of an instance that is 1000+ users and considering shutting down please reach out to me.
We may be willing to take over your instance and save your users if you are compliant with the Mastodon Server Covenenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant)

Being the guerilla-marketing troublemaker that I am:
I tried to post an Ad for Mastodon and Newsie on The Bird Place.
Now I am ad banned. ? ? ?

Several Mastodon instances (including Newsie) have come under cyber-attack recently by state-level actors.
If you are the admin of a Mastodon Instance that overlaps arts, human rights, civil society, journalism, or democracy and would like FREE cyber security protection from Cloudflare as part of Project Galileo please reach out as Fourth Estate is a long-time Project Galileo partner

At the turn of the (20th) century newspapers were the social media platforms of the day.
At the turn of the 21st century newspapers ceded that role, and their futures, to big-tech and the portals and silo-social networks.
The move to the fediverse gives modern news orgs a once in a generation opportunity to take that back.
Follow the lead of @TexasObserver and other news orgs that are launching their own instances for their staff/reporters and their audiences.

Elon Musk Suspended Me
Wonder why this happened.
Considering that I've only used Twitter to monitor him and occasionally invite people to JoinMastodon.org
----
However if you consider that he's going to just un-suspend everyone soon...

ActivityPub (the tech that makes Mastodon fediversy) gets some wider adoption

Pro Tip
Continue to invite your friends and followers on other social platforms to Mastodon.
They need an off-ramp.

@Metro @admin@home.social @admin@mastodon.tech
Newsie.social doesn't shadowban instances.
You can view the moderated instances, and why at newsie.social/about

Prediction:
With no more engineering or development staff left Elon will simply fork mastodon and call it twitter 2.0.

I think we have a moral and ethical responsibility to support the open-source platforms and protocols we're increasingly coming to rely on.
So Newsie.social just signed up as a silver sponsor for Mastodon.
