apparently i can't quote-post my other accounts, will fix that later, but if you had friends or colleagues using med-mastodon.com, please go see if you can find them on another fediverse host or help them FIND a new fediverse host.

if your company has gotten to the point where you are paying more than $1000/mo for a wiki (confluence, sharepoint, etc) you should probably hire a librarian

One of the problems with the fediverse(s) is that there are in fact cash costs to compute share, and we can't wave it away with VC and ad revenue. There's no economy of scale and complete self-hosting costs hundreds/month even if your admin&mod team is volunteers.

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?
I'll pay the bills. Period.
I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.
