FediMod FIRES is also rapidly approaching 1.0.0, and there's now instructions available for how to setup and install your own FIRES server.

That's also why my contributions to Mastodon have dropped off a bit this year, as I've needed to focus on FediMod FIRES, since it was income I could rely on.
I've still landed some pretty big changes in mastodon this year: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pulls?q=is%3Amerged+is%3Apr+author%3AThisIsMissEm+merged%3A%3E2024-12-31
I've also been having to take on work outside of the fediverse to try to keep things sustainable, but of course that means I'm busy doing that work instead of working on the open social web.
