beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

I reset who I'm following here.

I don't suddenly hate everyone, but I also lost track of who I was and wasn't following, and who I have conversations with on here.

So I'll be following you again when we speak on here.

I am preparing to shut down my personal instance of Mastodon and move it to social.coop in the coming months.

Noam

@mattl I ran a personal instance for a bit. It was more trouble than it was worth -- being an SRE for your own service just isn't fun, and some of the locality-based features of Mastodon aren't as good with a personal instance.

@noam @mattl I've avoided setting up an instance precisely because self-SRE work is *work* and not fun. It's difficult enough self-administering my home network; I don't need to amplify my headaches by putting something on the internet.

@benwyatt @noam I also have day-to-day stuff on Libre.fm which I am still slowly working on.
