If there is anything you are not comfortable with, you are completely free to move anywhere you want, without losing the people you are in touch with.If you believe you share the vibe and the values of <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/Pan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pan</a> (this instance), we would be super happy to welcome you! Just get in touch with me however you want. It is of paramount importance that we all spread around, populating smaller servers, rather than flooding big ones.Have fun and be excellent to each other!<a href="https://pan.rent/tags/governance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#governance</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/principles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#principles</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/values" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#values</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/fediPact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediPact</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/welcome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#welcome</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/intro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intro</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/instance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#instance</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#server</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/servers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#servers</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#community</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/antiFa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antiFa</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/antiFascistFediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antiFascistFediverse</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/benvenut%C9%99" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#benvenutə</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/benvenuto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#benvenuto</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/benvenuta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#benvenuta</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/bienvenu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bienvenu</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/bienvenue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bienvenue</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/wilkommen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wilkommen</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/boost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boost</a>
