Ok, this is the first time I’ve received a request to create an account from an AI agent. Are other admins also starting to receive these kinds of requests?
I think I’m going to block all email addresses from agentwire.email

📢 March 2026 #MastodonDesignAnnouncement
Dear members,
I hope everyone is doing well. The first two months of the year flew by, and I didn’t take the time to write my usual monthly announcements—my apologies.
I had to do the accounting for 2025, and it took me longer than expected, but it’s done! But before we look back at last year’s stats, let’s take a look at our server’s current ones.

Regarding our dear server, as expected, I needed to upgrade our masto.host plan to add one $10 Extra Resources pack, which brings us to a monthly total of $142.80. Let’s take a closer look at all of this.
📊 Server stats:
Monthly active users: 299 (−4)
Halfyear active users: 473 (−5)
Total members: 1,423 (+9)
Total reports: 303 (+2)
Database: 44.97 GB / 48 GB (93.69%)
Media: 191.01 GB / 480 GB (39.79%)

📢 April 2026 #MastodonDesignAnnouncement
Dear members,
Here is April’s announcement! While we patiently await the upcoming version 4.6 of Mastodon, there’s nothing in particular to report this month, except that we’ll very soon need to add an Extra Resources pack on masto.host, as we’re approaching the current limit for our database.
