We had a FANTASTIC lunch for #AdminAppreciationDay. Retired CZU Staff Services Manager Ginny Petras even made a celebrity appearance! It was nice to get to know new employees. We found out we have some chefs & foodies in our ranks! Thank you, we feel appreciated! 🥰#TeamBonding

Awesome! I'm going to hit that up today and set up a monthly payment.
It's my personal crusade to help people remember to not take our admins for granted!
Tagging a couple of other admin pals here to help spread the word, get those donation links up and running! @davetroy

There's a lot of value in no ads, no algorithm, no BS. You guys and your teams are the fuel to the #fediverse fire!

It’s #FirstFriday!
That means it’s #AdminAppreciationDay 🤓 !!!
Pass it on!
From my part, I will be signing up to @seb’s Patreon and chipping in monthly to support the sfba.social instance.
What can you do to show your support for the kind folks behind the scenes that make the #Fediverse happen?
It’s time to start now while we are all still early adopters. We are pushing 10 million, imagine what it’s going to be like when we hit 100!
I love it here, let’s all chip in to help!
#firstfriday #adminappreciationday #fediverse
Only two days until the #FirstFriday of the month!
What’s the occasion you might ask?
A lot of work goes on to keep this place running behind the scenes. So if your instance has a Patreon or a Ko-Fi or whatever, and you haven’t chipped in yet, this is your reminder!
Or send them a message with a high-5 and ask them what they need most to keep the wheels turning.

5 days till #FirstFriday!
The #fediverse was built from the ground up with nothing but grassroots support.
Did you know #Mastodon began clear back in 2016?
Are you on a smaller to medium sized instance?
How does it feel to be able to tag or direct message the moderator or admin of your social network?
(Hi @seb, Hi @davetroy, Hi @clearing_fog 🤓)
Are you supporting their work?
Spread the word, let’s make this Friday, Dec 2nd our 1st
#AdminAppreciationDay
#firstfriday #fediverse #mastodon #adminappreciationday
By design, this is a place where #ContributorCulture can take hold.
I’m advocating for the #FirstFriday of each month to be #AdminAppreciationDay.
Let’s highlight those heroes behind the scenes that make the #Fediverse happen!
Buy them a drink! Send them lunch!
AND SUPPORT THEIR INSTANCE WITH A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION!!!
Please boost if you agree 🤓
#ContributorCulture #firstfriday #adminappreciationday #fediverse
11 days and counting till our inaugural #AdminAppreciationDay 🤓
My current crusade is to make the #FirstFriday of every month the day we all show our gratitude and support for our instance operators.
#BigSocial was sucking the life out of us. 100% extractive. Like a leech on our soul.
The #fediverse is additive. It is what we make it. We need to build practices to get in the habit of making it awesome for each other.
Here, if we do it right, we can have #ContributorCulture.

You rock Dave!
Glad to see you pioneering some prime territory here in #Mastonia
I signed up with sfba.social a couple weeks ago before you got started, but I think it might be wise for me to set up a back up handle on toad 🐸. (Which, btw, is brilliant, and takes the piss out of Pepé)
Lastly, I’d like to use this comment to remind everyone that I’m advocating for the #FirstFriday of every month to be #AdminAppreciationDay here in the #Fediverse🤓
#Mastonia #firstfriday #adminappreciationday #fediverse
Every day between now and the #FirstFriday of December, I’m going to post a reminder to make the #FirstFriday of every month #AdminAppreciationDay
What’s one thing you can do to make your instance admin’s life more wonderful?

I'm intrigued by the thought that this protocol may bring out the best in people, rather than the worst. The possibility that dynamic could be baked into the design.
So a little experiment like seeing if #AdminAppreciationDay on every #FirstFriday could take off may prove my point.
Maybe I'm just smoking hopium. Or maybe this is going to change the world.
For now, I refuse to be cynical. I'll keep doing my part to help newbies settle in.
#adminappreciationday #firstfriday
Here’s a modest proposal…
Let’s make the #FirstFriday of every month #AdminAppreciationDay
The unsung heroes of #Mastonia are the ones making the #Fediverse happen for the rest of us.
Let’s start a monthly tradition where we send them lunch, buy them a drink, or chip in a few bucks to keep the lights on.
In our decentralized future, every group of friends or special interest community is going to have its own instance.
Let’s start building a culture of contribution now!
