[kwlug-disc] New Mastodon server for @kwlug

[Bob Jonkman]

That's too bad. I started a @kwpeace account there, as a bot to receive 
posts from the website.

Waterloo Region really should have a local instance. Do you know why 
it's closing? I've asked Robert Bowerman (the wrmstdn admin) if he's 
willing to let someone else take over the hosting. But who? Something 
for KWLUG people to take on? Maybe the CiviTechWR folks? There used to 
be a Waterloo Region forum where I lurked. Is that still running? I 
can't find my bookmark for it...
