hitchhiker.social - end-of-life
I started the hitchhiker.social mastodon server in 2018. I invited some friends to create accounts, created a custom theme and even made some small contributions to the Mastodon source code. In the past few years, I've rarely used this instance; using my Pleroma/Soapbox server instead.
My friends have stopped using this instance a little over two years ago, and it's just turned into a maintenance burden.
I've written a bit about the Fediverse over the years, for anyone who is interested:
- The Broken Fediverse (June 2025)
- Technology as a Solution (to big tech) (October 2020)
- Moving from YouTube to PeerTube (August 2020)
- Using Custom CSS with Mastodon (November 2018)
You can still find me on the Fediverse so long as @djsumdog@djsumdog.com is still up and running.
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.
