Calling all #Fediverse admins of instances in the #EU. The #CopyrightDirective is coming, we need to show the MEPs how massively the EU Internets will be affected.
We are preparing a list of all EU-based #Pleroma, #Mastodon, #GNUSocial, #Peertube, #Funkwhale, and any other instances.
Please *contact me*. All I need is the domain name, which EU Member State it's located in, and the rough topic of the instance. Approximate user count welcome, but not necessary.
Please help. This is important.

Hi @JB Carroll. Oh, that doesn't sound like much fun! Well hopefully the recovery will go smoothly. Cheers, -Randy
Thanks guys! The workers are still cranking away on getting posts. Don't know what caused the shutdown, all I had to do was restart!
