I still remember when I first joined Masto in 2016 (and the IRC chan)

I kept accidentally spelling it Mastadon and when I discovered the domain was available I rushed to private message Gargron and suggest he register it

Two years later, I rediscovered Mastodon and it was much bigger, and I'll never forget how supportive he was of @pixelfed from day 1 and to this day

He really made an impact on me and I'm still his and Mastodons biggest fan ❤️
