Named after Warren Mastodon, our server’s cute and chill mascot. 🦣

WAKE UP EVERYONE we got a new masto.nyc banner that just dropped- Halloween edition! 🎃
Credit as always goes to @MK@masto.nyc (now on the fediverse!) for the awesome work!
Hello, #NYC! We at Masto.NYC are gonna host our first community meetup next week:
Wednesday, July 9
6 - 8 PM
Torch & Crown Brewing Company
20 Union Square
We'll have stickers for sure, and maybe some other goodies, too. Meet Masto.NYC folks! Order a personally compatible beverage and chat about Mastodon and NYC and the future of non-profit, billionaire-free social networks!
Hope to see you there. :warren_liberty:
Scammers are creating accounts on this server and others pretending to be administrators, trying to trick people into clicking malware or phishing links. These messages are often under the pretense of "verifying your account". They are all bogus, and dangerous.
If you receive or even see a message like this, whether it's coming from Masto.NYC or any other server, please report it immediately. The only Masto.NYC admin or news accounts are @jmac@masto.nyc, @seano@masto.nyc, and @warren@masto.nyc. (That's me!)
Hi neighbors,
Changes in the national political landscape will never affect our commitment to providing free, local, non-commercial social media services to the brave and beautiful communities of #NYC.
We're privileged to live and work in the greatest city on earth, and it's in our mission to help New Yorkers stay connected and strong during times of uncertainty.
Thanks for being part of it. We’ll be right here. https://5BFP.org
This is happening tonight! Look for the table with the Mastodon plushie wearing an I ❤️ NY T-shirt!

Hullo, neighbors! We’ve put together our first survey of Masto.NYC users: just a few questions to take temperature about how well the server's been treating you, ways that we can improve, and a straw poll or two about other activities. Very grateful for all responses submitted by Friday, February 7! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdUtxIncjphEaGL-_A3JvIEM4dnD8WC71u07vykXzlnE_2-aA/viewform?usp=dialog
@gbargoud@masto.nyc You can indeed set your Mastodon account to auto-delete your posts after a ceratin time limit! https://fedi.tips/deleting-posts-automatically-in-mastodon-after-a-certain-time-period/
But rest assured that it's not local users' content that fills up our hard drive—it's *everyone else’s*. The fediverse is a big place!
We admins need to automate some regular cleanup of all that fetched remote data, is all.
