Can we give a shout-out to out awesome #fosstodon admins who keep it running 24/7 and allows me to have a good social media experience in the age of enshittification?

Obligatory yearly toot about #FOSS so I can stay on #Fosstodon 🎉
I saw the other day that German state Schleswig-Holstein is going to switch to fully #FOSS. Which is great and hope it works out for them.
Having set up a fully (F)OSS (desktops, apps, servers, etc) IT env for a large non-profit, might I suggest proper enterprise support instead of a lone coffee-addicted sysadmin who tries to keep systems together with hopes, prayers and duct tape? 🥲
That is not to say that everything was bad. Users liked working with #LinuxMint (still my fav distro), #RocketChat and #NextCloud were popular as well. Zimbra as a mailserver was ok, there were a few complaints about the scheduling tool. #Jitsi worked well, at times. I'm trying to remember the other apps that we used.
We had in-house servers with I believe #Proxmox and #Ubuntu vm's on top, managed by #Ansible. That all worked really well. One or 2 Windows VM's for legacy apps.

Yes!
I've helped a friend and used LO to read and recover an old graduation thesis written with MS Write (and partly on an old Word), that was no more readable with newer MS Office versions. @libreoffice
@mike@kev is there a discussion or post or something somewhere about the official #Fosstodon#Threads position?
I know there was an announcement about it like 9 months ago when it was first announced, but my searches of the website and those hashtags hasn't turned up anything yet.
Things seem to be integrating now because I just saw a threads user on my feed and replied to them. Not surprisingly my post hasn't shown up on threads.com yet.
