Public Services Hosted by Joe

In late 2018 I set up a [matrix] server to chat with friends and let anyone join. Since then I've added many more services that are free to use and run on libre software! I do my best to keep everything running smoothly, but provide no guarantees or warranties of any sort. You can see service status updates at status.thisisjoes.site.
