 wakest | Hello folks! there is an instance that is currently struggling to pay their hosting fees and I was thinking it would be nice to make a donation to them from our OpenCollective account. https://mastodon.xyz has been running in the red for a long time now and person who started it has been asking for community support. I would like to propose we donate 100$ to them. | 14:58:31 |

I would like to propose we donate 100$ to them. I would be in favour of this! | 17:15:02 |
| kawaiipunk (they/them) | the instance is a good bunch? | 17:15:11 |
| wakest | I have followed the admin for a long time and they seem friendly. been around for ages. https://mastodon.xyz/users/TheKinrar/ | 17:17:42 |
| wakest | its the person who made https://instances.social/ which is an important resource for the fediverse and one of the only remaining places up that you can search through open instances to find a good home | 17:19:22 |
| kawaiipunk (they/them) | Cool! as long as you trust them, I'm in favour. | 17:20:53 |
| wakest | I don't know them personally at all. And they post mostly in french so its a bit hard for me to ascertain their politics. But looking through who they follow and and I recognize a large percentage and I know they have been putting time and energy into the fediverse for many years. maybe someone else would like to look through their profile and see if we think they are a good fit? | 17:39:33 |

| kawaiipunk (they/them) | * radioangel: ??? | 18:22:36 |
| kawaiipunk (they/them) | but tbh if you do it transparently using opencollective | 18:22:50 |
| kawaiipunk (they/them) | I think its cool | 18:22:58 |

| Squeaky Pancakes(They/Them) | Thinking I might try to do a distro upgrade this weekend. | 01:41:08 |
| Squeaky Pancakes(They/Them) | This prolly isn't happening now I didn't get sleep again | 17:43:51 |
| kawaiipunk (they/them) | what is the server on? | 18:04:22 |
| Squeaky Pancakes(They/Them) | Debian 9 | 18:04:50 |

| wakest | Squeaky Pancakes(They/Them): I would love to witness the process if you wouldn't mind screen shareing or something when you are down to do it. I really need to learn how its done anyway I have been meaning to upgrade another instance I help run | 00:19:46 |
| Squeaky Pancakes(They/Them) | I could prolly stream it somewhere | 00:26:15 |
| Squeaky Pancakes(They/Them) | Mostly Im worried about something breaking and our software not working | 00:26:43 |
| Tobi | Hey I guess this is the best place to ask: How do I best manage Fediverse social media for my local climate justice chapter? We have got Instagram but nothing else. Is it possible to bridge IG Posts to mastodon but still be able to post manually? Same with Twitter? | 07:38:50 |
| Squeaky Pancakes(They/Them) | I know that postybirb can post to both but I don't know if it does replies. I've not really used any crossposters unfortunately. | 16:09:13 |
| Squeaky Pancakes(They/Them) | https://www.postybirb.com/ | 16:09:14 |
| Squeaky Pancakes(They/Them) | Its mostly used for artwork but it might help | 16:09:52 |
| Squeaky Pancakes(They/Them) | It is an electron app if that matters | 16:18:40 |
| kawaiipunk (they/them) | Tobi: I have no idea about Insta but for Twitter<->Mastodon I've used this successfully before: https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br/ | 21:34:29 |

| wakest | I used to use Moa Party but I guess instagram changed the api and they never got it working again https://moaparty.com/bring-back-instagram/ | 21:29:48 |
