Following some feedback from one of our members, we have replaced #Cloudflare with #BunnyCDN for our instance.
You can read more about it here:
We’re going to do another round of donations soon. We think we have enough to donate $400.
What donation amount would you guys prefer we did?
We’re not just FOSS!
In the interest of full disclosure, we've added crypto-group-buy.com to our domain block list. Please let us know if you have any question or concerns regarding this domain block.

Yay ^^ They finally arrived! The @fosstodon stickers. Adding another topicstarter to the billboard side of the thinkpad, it's been a great place to be ever since I joined. Thank you all!
#Fosstodon #Stickers are back!
Not only that, but we also have new designs. If you want to get some cool swag for your laptop, while supporting Fosstodon, check out our new Sticker Shop:
***ADMIN NOTICE***
We have had some issues overnight where the instance’s timelines were not updating. Out host, @mastohost appear to have fixed the issue and we should be back to normal now.
If you’re still experiencing issues, please email the team at team@fosstodon.org
Apologies for any issues caused.
#Fosstodon is growing fast and we need your help!

Unfortunately, we have had to update some of the instances we have blocked.
All Gab instances and been 'upgraded' from Silenced to Suspended. Mstdn.jp has also been suspended.
This is because we have had a lot of members reporting porn themed follow bots from these instances.
Instance block list has been updated:

Thanks for all the feedback on the new #CoC folks. Clearly once you have read a document 25 times, the typos are easy to miss! 😁
We're very happy to announce that our new #CodeOfConduct is now live. We've taken a lot of time editing this, and our Patrons have also helped.
Hopefully this new CoC will better define what we're trying to achieve with #Fosstodon.
We're very happy to announce that @ohyran and @Gina have joined the Fosstodon moderation team.
We have also made some changes in how we manage the moderation for Fosstodon. You can get details in this blog post - https://hub.fosstodon.org/blog/moderation-update
Please join us in congratulating both Jens and Gina on joining the team. It's a great choice, we're sure you will agree. 😁
We're very happy to say that we just put out our second round of project donations. This time around, both @elementary and @letsencrypt received $100 each.

Over the past 6 months or so, a few members have asked us if we accept donations via #Liberapay.
We moved away from them because they were having issues; it looks like those issues are now fixed (we hope). So we’re happy to announce that Fosstodon is now accepting Liberapay donations again. 😁
We have been asked about the longevity of Fosstodon, especially since a number of key instances have gone.
Hopefully this post will allay any concerns. TL;DR - we got your back!
There's a few hours left for you to submit an Open Source project that you think we should donate to.
We have launched the survey for our second round of donations - this time we will be donating $100 to 2 separate open source projects.
We've managed to improve the submission process this time around by using @LimeSurvey.
Please do take the time to add a submission if you get a couple of minutes. The list will then be sent to our Patrons for the final vote.

So we have been balancing the books and we currently have over $500 in our Paypal account.
HOW AWESOME ARE YOU GUYS!!!
That means another donation is on its way to another project. We're thinking either a single donation of $200 to a project, or two donations of $100 to two separate projects.
Since this cash came from our amazing community, we want you guys to decide. Please use the poll below to cast your vote.

Just a quick reminder, folks. We still have some Fosstodon stickers left. This may be a one time deal, so get them whilst they're still going!
