There’s been some fantastic work by others, and I see you all. And boost a lot of your good shit.
We’re all building this together, by our presence, by our code, by our outreach, by our care for each other.
I think this mostly covers it.
Hi, herd, I’m back!
💞 
Ps, did I ever tell you that I am 
?
(Totally seamless, no one will notice! )

Last time around I couldn’t deal with DMs due to lack of spoons, that is not an issue now, so my DMs are open, but always remember, for more efficiency it is in 9 of 10 times better to write me a public/unlisted message, especially when you have questions, so I can boost the questions I can’t answer at the moment.
It’s what I’ve been doing lately anyways, always just boosting when I can’t answer. There’s a chance that someone else can. Remember that you can use #NeedHelp and #AdminNeedHelp

In regards to this I will also be making myself an alt account for more of my private stuff. But also, just a place I can hang and chill when I’m not necessarily working. I will without hesitation block anyone who brings up work with me to that account.
So, if you want to talk about mastodon the project, you find me right here on @maloki as usual.
But if you want my private side, i'm over on @maloki 🕵️♀️ this one wont be open for everyone but posts probably mostly public.
