Hi, again.

Deleted my spuddle acct here but apparently my iquitoz acct was mysteriously connected to it and it too was deleted. Wish that was made clear.
Need to check HD to see if partial “Following” and “Followers” lists are still available. It’s like Starting Over… again.

Thanks so much for all those that have donated as well as inquired about the finances of . To share some stats... From Nov-Jan, we averaged $86/month in donations. Our expenses are about $300/month. We currently have about 220 monthly active users. If 50% of folks gave just $3/month then we'd be good to cover costs with and build a small reserve. No obligation if your not able to, but if you have the means, the US tax-deductible donation page is at hcb.hackclub.com/donations/sta

Hey users. We've been doing some analysis of our top users and 50% of our top 30 users are all bots that are mirroring Twitter accounts through sportsbots.xyz/

Given our donations aren't covering our costs, we're going to disable these mirrored accounts starting Feb 25, 2025 to save some cash. Please feel free to directly follow those accounts on Twitter. Thanks!

Hey ! We're looking to perform the Mastodon 4.3.0 upgrade on Friday, Oct 18th @ 5am. We expect there will be downtime during the upgrade process, so we appreciate your patience, but also hope you aren't online that early in the morning 😀

The Mastodon team released a big update to the world today. Here at , we will be upgrading our server in the next week or two. With this many changes in a single release, we like to lag just a tad behind to avoid any unforeseen issues that may be found out in the wild.

You can read about some of the upcoming changes here.

MastodonMastodon (@Mastodon@mastodon.social)#Mastodon 4.3 is out! 🎉 We've made notifications easier to manage and improved the look and feel of the whole app across the board. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! See what you can expect once your server upgrades: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/mastodon-4.3/

@wellschmaltz Can you link an example post that is doing that? The server currently caches remote images, but I only keep them locally for 7 days (soon to be 14 days). If they are deleted from the cache then my server will go back to the original post and request the image again. Outside of a little delay, that should work fine assuming the original image is still available for us to download and cache again.

is accepting US tax deductible donations again! Hack Club is our new fiscal sponsor.

We have over 200 active monthly users. If we could get just half our users to donate $3/month then we'd be in great financial shape with the ability to start building up some reserves.

If you're in a position to help, please consider setting up a monthly donation today at:

had about a 30 minute outage where you could only read posts, but not interact or create new posts. We're catching up on the backlog of activity from remote servers. There may be some minor interruptions while we finish recovering from the outage.
