@jerry I have to say, somewhat tangentially related, I am very grateful for your moderation work. I know the vile shit that is out there on the internets, and I have no reason to believe that it wouldn't be on Mastodon either. The fact that I rarely see it means that you, directly or indirectly, have already filtered it out.

i still run my own DNS servers and mail server to keep somewhat current with sysadmin. i thought about running my own mastodon instance for about 10 seconds but had had such a good experience with your instance that it's been much more pleasant to give you recurring bumps of cash and let you do the incredible job you do.
thank you.
