1/ Announcement: So today being a news day I might as well announce that the team at TheCanadian.Social has officially taken ownership of https://journa.host and https://newsie.social. We have also moved these instances to our facilities in Canada. These are two important instances hosting a large portion of the fediverse's journalism accounts. We felt it important to keep them going as the previous stewards were considering shutting them down. #fediverse #fediadmin #journalists

@mike @drahardja Weren't they previously run by two separate (groups of) people?
@tokyo_0 @drahardja No, they were both run by a non profit called the fourth estate. They were looking to wind down.
@mike Thank you for the info — sounds like things had changed quite a lot since I last heard about how those instances were being run, and that things weren't going well. It's great that you've picked them up and are taking care of them (especially good to get the data out of the U.S.). They're important instances. Thank you for all your hard work! @drahardja
3/ I'd also like to particularly thank @quaff who spearheaded the technical move and managed to do so with minimal downtime. It was a feat of ops engineering and we're very luck to have him. #fediverse #fediadmin #journalism
2/ I'd like to thank @jeff and his team for creating and stewarding a safe harbour for journalists in the fediverse. We hope that our small team can maintain the same levels of professionalism and dedication to keeping journalism alive and well in the fediverse. #fediverse #fediadmin #journalism.
Hiti
हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
