2018-06-02 The last new spambot account was recorded at 1:20pm (probably EDST) on this day. They stopped quite abruptly.
2018-05-30 The SSL certificate failed to renew on the new server. Four hours later, I fixed it.
2018-05-22 spambots began creating accounts on toot.cat; we soon implemented a policy of immediately suspending any of these that tooted spam links, and silencing the rest.
- There were a few dozen accounts created as of evening the next day.
2018-05-20
- 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
- Toot.Cat is successfully migrated to a new server and the latest version of Mastodon.
- LottieVixen joins TootCat as sysadmin
2018-04-16: working on upgrade and migration
2018-01-25: Mastodon software is up-to-date with no major issues.

2018-06-02
- Apparently mastodon.cloud has been down for over a week, a new toot.cat user reports. So has instance.business. I've inquired.
- A lot of anger and resentment has brewed between Gargron and marginalized users over issues with Mastodon design and governance.
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.
