Hey there! For those new to DMV.Community or Mastodon in general, I can also be found in a few other places and I run some other services.
I run a #GoToSocial instance called The Shrediverse at https://shrediverse.net. It's like a lightweight Mastodon that you can use with most Mastodon clients. This instance is generally music-focused and anyone can join. I have an account there @jcrabapple@shrediverse.net@shrediverse.net where I share music-related stuff.
I have a personal blog at https://cool-as-heck.blog and a music blog at https://blog.shrediverse.net. I haven't been very good about updating them lately but I'm trying to be better about it. 😄
I also maintain two Mastodon frontends that anyone can use: https://elk.dmv.community and https://phanpy.dmv.community.
If you'd like to donate to support hosting costs for DMV.Community you can do so at my Kofi page: https://ko-fi.com/jcrabapple
Peace, love, and tacos 🌮

If you would like to donate to support the cost of the DMV.Community server, it is not necessary but greatly appreciated. Costs will of course increase as we grow and I will provide transparent updates around that. Every little bit helps and is much appreciated. I can't do it without you guys!

If anyone has opinions on the most reliable used car models from about 2012-2018, I'm all ears. Small cars like sedans, coupes, and hatchbacks.
I wish mosquitoes would go extinct. Send toot.
Good morning. ☕
