Typed out and deleted the phrase "sysadmin is my love
language" in a DM with someone.
I deleted it because actually it's true.
I run Mastodon out of my basement because it's a thing I can
do for my friends. I take it seriously because people I care
about will be frustrated when it doesn't work.
It's why I host my brother's email, even though I outsource
my own to Fastmail.
Maybe I'm just over emotional today, but I was also
explaining to someone about tilde.town -- how it's altered
the course of my life and it's a place where people can be
enthusiatic about things without irony or risk of ridicule.
My favourite topic for #tildetown has always been "vilmibm
made space for us all in his heart and server": I know
running this place isn't always easy, but thank you vilmibm
for the amazing love you show your friends by doing it <3 <3
