well, well. we made it friends. through thick and thin and against a lot of people's wishes Poast is officially 3 years old.
what started out as a shitty mastodon server we somehow managed to convince 2000 people from twitter to join in the span of only a few hours on January 13, 2021 to over 30,000 strong today.
in three short years we managed to best every single challenge and hurdle thrown at us from brainlet dramanigger accusations to 0day exploits, news hit pieces and financial struggles we made it through all of it.
we are thankful that you have all stuck around despite everything, growing pains and all and we look forward to many more years here with you.
🎂🎈 god bless you poast and thank you for everything 🎈🎉
if you like what we do and you want to see poast stick around, consider becoming a patron or making a one off donation
