I've created an "All-Hands" Call on DIscord for this evening at 6pm MST. I'm hoping that anyone interested in participating in the technical aspects (and other areas) are able to join.

My dedication to our community remains steadfast. I've travelled this country with the hopes of networking and growing the fediverse and our community.
However I've begged for help in exactly this area for as long as Elon has owned Xitter. I've begged our community for folks to step up to create a society.
Yet no one has stepped up. We've all had to figure this technical shit out on our own, in our own silos, and it seems no one wants to share their knowledge.
My sleepless nights of dealing with databases, and endless hours of googling is really starting to wear on me.
24 hours ago I asked for some help and it went to deaf ears. I'm doing everything I can but I'm really starting to burn the candle on both ends.
This is the problem with where we're at with the fediverse. We have people bending over backwards and there's no rescue boat in sight when they need help.
If we truly want to build community, we do it together.
At what point is my cup empty? There's 36,000 people here.
That said, I'm committed to making sure that mstdn.ca is stable, and am committed to making sure our community is the best it can be for years ahead.
But folks, we're running on shoestrings, not financially, but in people.
In less words: Volunteers are being abused on the fediverse.
In terms of me, I'm running on fumes. For a community of 36,000 people, there should be zero reason why the technical administration lies purely on my shoulders. I should be able to get on a Discord call and work through these issues.
As it is, here I am, in my 8x4 office, stressing covering the fact we're not delivering for our community completely alone.

My #Wrapstodon for 2025! For #mstdnca friends, you'll find the notification in your web app if not now, but very soon. The process is working to get it out to you!
Getting my last gulps of sea air before headed home.
Feeling a renewed energy after #FediCon and excited to bring some new ideas to #mstdnca.
I’m glad I’ve been taking time on the State of the Instance because I have so much more to add after this weekend.
Posting later this week.
Also, I bought fedican.ca. More coming about that too.

Mastodon Canada is currently suffering a power outage, I can hear emergency crews responding in the distance. We are on battery backup and soon switching to gas generator backup. There may be intermittent outage.
Thank you for your patience.
