Dear mastodon instance admin, I will happily take over the hosting of your instance if you cannot handle the administrative burden (time or cost)!

@shlee @PostersUnionAU thank you. I wish our former admin had bothered to reach out before shutting down med-mastodon, or accepted offers made since to take it over for a month.
Sad times. #MedMastodon #mastoadmin

@noodlemaz @shlee @PostersUnionAU FWIW the original owner of MedMastodon has said they're open to transferring ownership, I have sent them an e-mail as have a few others offering to take on the hosting and running of the site. I'm hopeful one of us that have offered can pick the site up before the data is deleted by the host so folks don't loose post history and follower / following relationships.

@wild1145 @shlee @PostersUnionAU ooh that's good news!

@noodlemaz @shlee @PostersUnionAU There has also been a fair bit of discussion on Reddit fwiw and I know there was some discussion on the hashtag a few days ago as well - https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/1pxtglg/my_instance_went_dark_is_there_any_possibility_of/

@wild1145 @shlee @PostersUnionAU I had been meaning to check back on reddit. And have been asking folks to keep using the hashtag for updates!
(I'm 'late jackfruit' bc back when I made my account I didn't understand how reddit worked and didn't manage to fix my handle)

@wild1145 @shlee @PostersUnionAU also can I ask where you've heard that Nick is open to this? As others who received a reply, if any, got something negative - did he confirm this to you or?
