  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
