I'm really excited that the famous @stamen map styles will live on into the future, thanks to @stadiamaps! I've been helping to support these styles for a decade now and it's a relief to see them updated and refreshed for the next generation of map users! https://t.co/zFUB3xZgym

Oh. Hi everybody. You're still here? Anyway, if you're updating your websites to replace the bird icon with an x icon, you might as well set up a link to your Mastodon account too.
