No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage. Just someone who spent twenty years studying Arctic policy posting a thread at 2 AM because they think you should understand what's happening.

Good point! I always forget that, being my own admin.

To keep the Fediverse alive, show your instance admins your appreciation. Depending on your instance, what is needed for your instance may be money, moral support, help in running the instance (e.g. moderation), or something entirely different.

Check your instance' info pages or ask your admins for details.
