If so I'll join.
I couldn't see mention on blu.org of it.

*(2) Fediverse / Mastodon *

the whole Fediverse seems to have grown in the intervening years, and
Mastodon is growing explosively this month, ^I wonder why^.

My update to NatickFOSS on Fediverse, Mastodon, and #Twexit
<https://n1vux.github.io/articles/Linux/2022-Nov-Mastodon/> is on my POSSE
post site.
I'll be accreting lessons learned there going forward.
(Diffs can be viewed with git.)

I haven't explored the Fediverse's 3 options for macroblogging.
(For my purposes, the GitHub Pages are fine so far.)
But one of them might make more sense than WordPress or whatever for those
uses.

I'm wondering if anyone has put up a generic Mastodon.NewEngland.us  node
yet.
Could we host a New England F(L)OSS node of Mastodon & one of the three
macrobloggers on one of our Collo servers?
Would we want to? (Would we want the moderation burden?)
