   Typed out and deleted the phrase "sysadmin is my love
   language" in a DM with someone.

   I deleted it because actually it's true.

   I run Mastodon out of my basement because it's a thing I can
   do for my friends. I take it seriously because people I care
   about will be frustrated when it doesn't work.

   It's why I host my brother's email, even though I outsource
   my own to Fastmail.

   Maybe I'm just over emotional today, but I was also
   explaining to someone about tilde.town -- how it's altered
   the course of my life and it's a place where people can be
   enthusiatic about things without irony or risk of ridicule.

   My favourite topic for #tildetown has always been "vilmibm
   made space for us all in his heart and server": I know
   running this place isn't always easy, but thank you vilmibm
   for the amazing love you show your friends by doing it <3 <3
