*Updated* Heads up to everyone I know on here - I have decided to move* instances, and I am setting up a new account with hcommons.social (same username). This was spurred by reports of the parlous state of zirk.us, but I've now heard that there is new moderation + a cleanup operation underway. This is pleasant to learn (and a surprise!), so I am not going to be moving followers / closing this account just yet, though will consider options.
