Dear Fedi friends, I would love to start a #GratefulForYou hashtag, doing shout-outs to Fediverse people that one finds inspiring, enlightening, or just plain cool. The online world can be a dark, overwhelming place and I just wanted to encourage others to shine a light on people who make a positive difference... to say, "I see you, I hear you and I value you." Today my #GratefulForYou goes out to @sylvia, whose creativity & positivity always uplift & inspire me ❤️ Who are you grateful for?

    @_elena #GratefulForYou to @aral and @joynewacc for pretty much single handedly making the Fediverse a viable platform for Palestinian mutual aid

    #GratefulForYou @_elena because you’re my lamp in dark and unknown (especially until recently) world of #Fediverse. Thank you for your work, passion and tips. :)

    @_elena I'd like to show my gratitude to @MarcAbrahams, whose account shows us that science is truly fun. And especially because he decided to host the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony (the first ever held in the Trumpian Middle Ages) on the very day I'll be celebrating my fiftieth birthday! How sweet! 🤣 @sylvia

    #GratefulForYou @_elena for starting this, and adding @davidrevoy for his wonderful artwork. Both of you have brought joy to my first day on mastodon and made it a little less scary! I have followed @sylvia also ☺️. Have a wonderful day, y'all!

    Continuing @_elena⁠'s shout-out with a #GratefulForYou tag (and there are so many I am grateful for here so this is hard) I would like to thank: @ownlife For being my online bff, always being there for me, and sharing my love of Trent Reznor & NIИ :ablobcatrainbow: @alice For being the sweetest most caring person I've ever known, giving me hope when I lost mine, and putting the PRIDE in gay pride :gay_alice_shades: @jerry For running this instance, making it a safe place, and for putting up with all my cat pics & memes! :3

    @_elena @sylvia There are so many great people here. I would not know where to begin. I think, though, that we see every day here the goodness and concern of others for the world changing around them. Yes, things get contentious sometimes, but at least here, people tend to get along. #GratefulForYou

    Hah, I no sooner finish a "you should follow @_elena and her self-hosting adventures" recommendation-post, only to scroll another 2 posts down and see your #GratefulForYou hashtag…so I'm going to judo-move this, flipping it right around, being grateful for you sharing your self-hosing adventures in a friendly manner whereby I'm comfortable recommending others to follow. ☺

    @_elena Too many individuals to list here! Everyone who's actively participating in our community and advocates for us outside of it. But I do want to give a special shout-out to Black people who stuck out with us, despite the fediverse not having a great track record of being welcoming to them. Highly recommend checking out the #BlackFedi hashtag!
