    • 13:23 ET A long-overdue server reboot resulted in all message windows being depopulated. I retreated to the TootCave to focus on the problem.
    • 13:39 ET It turned out to be a misconfiguration in Nginx, and I don't know why it was even working before. See HTYP for details.
  • 2018-05-03 Email issues fixed. There nonetheless seems to be a deficit in Mastodon diagnostics.
  • 2018-05-01 Ongoing email issues are making me tear my hair out. (How appropriate for May Day!)
  • 2018-04-26
  • 2018-04-16: working on upgrade and migration
  • 2018-01-25: Mastodon software is up-to-date with no major issues.

Mastodon News

  • 2018-04-30
    • Sina of cutie.space announced (cache) that she will no longer be serving Mastodon from that domain, effective within a matter of hours, due to a decline in users, and will be replacing it (cache) with something less resource-intensive.
    • witches.town goes offline
    • Woozle posts a reassurance that toot.cat will not be going away anytime soon.
  • 2018-04-27 Ginny McQueen of kitty.town posted on Medium asking for help; Woozle posted about it on Google+.
  • 2018-04-02 The sysop of witches.town announced that the site will be shutting down on April 30.
