@russss@chaos.social I have no idea what this is, but it sounds incredibly cool.

Today, I’m letting you know that toot.community will close permanently on 28 October 2026. This decision is final, and the server won’t be handed over to anyone else. When I started running toot.community, I really enjoyed it. Over time, it became more stressful and less rewarding. Every day, I deal with spam, bots, technical issues, abuse reports, and user conflicts. Much of the moderation ends up being about personal disagreements rather than actual rule-breaking. More importantly, I don’t enjoy how people interact on social media anymore. Too often, conversations turn hostile or confrontational. A small amount of conflict and bad actors takes up a disproportionate amount of time and energy. I find myself feeling more angry or discouraged after spending time as an admin, and that’s not what I want from social media or a volunteer project. There’s also the financial side. I’m very grateful to everyone who donated, but donations haven’t covered costs for a long time. I’ve had to shoulder most of the expenses, time, and responsibility myself. The server is now closed to new registrations and will remain online until 28 October 2026, so you’ll have three months to find another Mastodon or Fediverse server and move your account. You can find Mastodon’s official migration guide here: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/ Please note that Mastodon can move your followers, but it can’t transfer your old posts or uploaded media to your new account. If you want to keep a copy, download an archive. If you’d like to stay in touch, you can follow my personal account here (@jorijn@social.jorijn.com).

Just got an email from someone who said he's sorry to see toot.community go and invited me to chat. This guy works at a business that helps companies turn private databases into secure, licensable assets. How about, respectfully, fuck no. #MastoAdmin

@FRYTG@beoriginal.social nice. new ink day coming. what's the plan?

@FRYTG@beoriginal.social pics when it's done then :-)

@FRYTG@beoriginal.social gonna be a big piece? or just a long waitlist

@FRYTG@beoriginal.social what's that app? is it MacroFactor?

@FRYTG@beoriginal.social I knew the screen looked familiar 👀

@FRYTG@beoriginal.social shameless plug: https://jorijn.com/en/services/email-hosting/ I like Soverin too.

@FRYTG@beoriginal.social No problem. You get the full email-scoped cPanel suite, so that includes these options: https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/email/ (Catch-all is called "default address") The 5/month includes 25GB; additional storage is per blocks of 2GB for 1/month each.

@FRYTG@beoriginal.social What's your email? We'll get things in motion :)

@mijndert@fosstodon.org @FRYTG@beoriginal.social It's more impressive because I find the overhead presses to be one of the hardest/shittiest exercises there is.

@Linux@planet.moe Choosing mental health doesn't make one a coward. They're all volunteers. You publicly calling them out and holding them to an unrealistic standard is bullying.

@Linux@planet.moe I agree that catering to public opinion sucks. I (as an instance admin) have been on the receiving end of bullying parties multiple times, so I totally understand choosing the path of least resistance. I have felt what it does to people, and while I understand your frustration, calling these people cowards is wrong. It's wrong to expect them to endure this never-ending crap firehose just to set moral standards without any repayment in return.
