It looks like I, and every other Mastodon instance admin who has federated with #LivingBlindfully will be cleaning up their retries queue for some time to come, hopefully not in perpetuity. Does #Masto.Host not execute self-destruct on instances that go away? Seems like a basic thing to do. Or maybe I'm wrong? Ugh.

I finished hearing the last Living Blindfully episode this afternoon. I'll miss the show dearly, but what a high note to go out on. Well done to @JonathanMosen and everyone who has helped make the show as special as it was.

Thanks to everyone who has boosted my open letter calling on entities that engage with the #blind community to come to Mastodon.
At the time of writing this post, we have around 330 signatures. That’s far fewer than those who have kindly boosted the petition here and just a tiny fraction of the blind community who has made the move to Mastodon.
If you’re concerned about missing out on engagement with organisations of the blind, some assistive tech companies, companies with #accessibility accounts and more, please add your name to the letter. It is going to have more impact the more signatures it gets.
Want to do more? Contact an organisation you want to see here, respectfully asking why they’ve not made it here yet and pointing out the benefits.
Also on the #LivingBlindfully podcast, we’ll have a section mentioning those entities that have responded to the call and made the move here.
Thank you.
