Oh nice, I like. I am sure there are some users on my instance who will be happy to stop following my personal account which I also use for talking about admin stuff. Are links allowed in these? I can definitely see wanting to do something like "Hey everyone! I just updated to the latest release, which gives us x, y, z, and a bunch more little things - check out [this toot] for more details."

Okay let me be clear here, those are reactions to announcements. I didn't mean to say reactions would be available for normal posts. Not at the moment. This is not a committment to add reactions to everything down the line though. More of an experiment.

@Gargron what kind of customizations are available to admins? I had considered running my own instance. But for it to be worthwhile, I was curious to know what customizable settings are there?

Sounds like Rankism: Rankism is "abusive, discriminatory, or exploitative behavior towards people because of their rank in a particular hierarchy".

@Gargron will the long-time inactive users receive an email after the admin announcement? If so it’ll be great!!

@Gargron That's awesome. Btw do you have a timeline of when the new version will be coming out. |
@Gargron That is a great update! I try to do those announcements when I do things like instance updates
