Ash Furrow: “I have sad news that I have decided to shut down the mastodon.technology instance. In accordance with the Mastodon Server Covenant, the server will be shut down no earlier than December 1, 2022.”
It’s a bummer to see Ash go through a rough time and it’s completely understandable why he’s shutting it down.
