Speaking as a noob trying to see if I can respond from another server… Hi!
I spun up an instance for a friend group, to test it out, and while I think no one has a real clue what’s going on, it’s nice to have something new and positive. And since I or a friend control the server, no worries on the perverse incentives of the internet giants.

I think we’ll see another spike when the third-party apps are actually shut down.
Be prepared to answer so many questions from newcomers.
Today’s noobs are tomorrow’s participants and next months’ experts. Take it as a chance to be awesome to one another.
