Follow this account for Toot.Cat site news.

I recommend all local users follow it to receive announcements of planned server outages (hopefully few and short) or issues that may affect them.

Remote follows are also fine.

preemptively suspended develop.gab.com and gab.com. only develop.gab.com is currently hosting a mastodon instance, but there may be one in the future on gab.com

tootcat going down briefly for upgrades soon

bsd.moe (hate speech, etc)

actually gonna reboot real quick while we're at it

hi holy hell we're back!!!! that was much smoother than expected, direct all issues to me at @kity thanks!!

hi friends, just letting you know we're gonna actually migrate over to the glitchsoc fork of mastodon (https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon)!!!

while this is a very exciting change and will bring many new features, chances are it won't be perfectly seamless and we might be down for a bit. @woozle is running a backup right now, so don't worry too much

after the update, i'll be around to help people get acquainted with the new features and take care of any bugs that might pop up <3

mew,

I have finally started a list of cat-related Mastodon stuff (especially on #tootcat).

https://mew.toot.cat/mw/Pub/cat

Suggestions are welcome! Other cat domains, cat accounts...

(Would also consider adding pages for other topics.)

OS upgrade complete.

Oh, and we got a Mastodon upgrade too.

And apparently that wss:// issue is now fixed?

Also, please welcome @kity back to the #tootcat team, after a much-too-long absence!

The #tootcat server is about to undergo a system upgrade; there will be some downtime.

Please stock up on treats and extra scritches for use while you wait.

We are currently undergoing a spambot onslaught -- new accounts will be silenced until I arbitrarily and capriciously judge them, in my opinion, to be real users.
