Leonie, who is the admin of a nice instance I appreciate -- Koyu.space/about/

...has posted a nice idea this morning, screenshot added here.

That we should have a new hashtag, :

* to offer thank yous and appreciation for the work, expense and effort they pour in to keep these services running.
* many times covering the costs out of their pockets.
* and mostly not shown the recognition for all of that

I think it's a GREAT idea, and fully support that. I wrote a Long post here yesterday, showing similar appreciation for the unique openness shown by our local Qoto.org admin and founder.

I also posted a nice LP (my usual is Long Form, as you know), just a few minutes ago, showing appreciation for Nolan Lawson's work, as both a fedi admin and author of an outstanding client.

As an active and opinionated who was dismayed by recent events, including the attacks on Leonie's personal reputation by despicable people, I am joining this.

Let's make it happen. Show some love and kudos to your favourite admins and site staff.

Thanks for all your work, Leonie.

Koyu.space is a wonderful instance, I recommend it to any discerning user looking for a nice Glitch-Social instance.

Thanks, Stux, I thought it was a great idea too.

And maybe we could use the hashtag -- but leave it always open - so people can post their own tributes any day of the week, anytime they want.

We don't see much appreciation for their efforts, and I know it makes a huge difference even receiving a reply, when you put effort into something.
