It's been a really interesting trip, owning and running a one-person instance. Time to simplify though, so I'm off and this instance will be shut down in due course. Find me @afloatingbea !

Welp, given unemployment and all that, I think it's probably time to migrate servers and shut this single-person instance down to save the ten bucks a month it costs to keep up. Pinning this so you can see it if you have to approve a follow from migrated-me!
