Happy Birthday! Ok, it might not be a birthday in the strictest sense, but it has officially been one year since I made the first general discussion thread in !anime@ani.social and was appointed as a moderator. Can you believe it? I don't really have anything special to say about it other than to thank everybody here for being great members of the community. Thank you for this first year and I look forward to another year with all you goofballs. Also, special thanks to hitagi for creating the space for this community to exist (and handling a big chunk of reports before I even see them).

Just in case it wasn't clear, you can absolutely use this thread the same way you would use any other general discussion thread. Let us know about things you have watched, ask about things you want to watch, show off some merch you just got, whatever. Go wild! (within the rules)

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

It's been a whole year of posting in this community! It's hard to believe it's been that long. It feels like just yesterday that I created this account after the drama surrounding the defederation from the ml instance.

Something that I mentioned briefly in the post up above, but wanted to call out once more, is that hitagi might not be nearly as visible as I am in this community, but they actually do a lot behind the scenes to keep things running. In addition to everything involved with the infrastructure of running the instance, I was just looking through the reports I have received, and roughly half of them were resolved by hitagi prior to my ever seeing them. It also works out nicely that the two of us live on basically opposite sides of the globe, meaning that we have pretty good time zone coverage. So, even if they aren't posting as much as I am (I mean, who is really?), hitagi has been a vital part of keeping things running smoothly here.

As a sort of unofficial celebration of the anniversary, I am happy to do a kind of mini-AMA in this thread if people have any questions for me that are on their mind (either anime-related or not).
