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.

#TootCat turns 4 today! 🍰 🎉 ​

Here's hoping I'll get caught up with the upgrading soon... >.>

We have domain-silenced gitmo.life , in response to user input: https://toot.cat/@news/105776013377341436

My understanding is that this still permits explicit following of discussions there, but prevents their posts from ending up in our public timelines.

-- @woozle

Is there any reason not to instance-block gitmo.life?

If you don't have an opinion, please vote "abstain" just so I can get an idea of how many have seen this notice. Thanks.

Mew, the TootCat wiki, has been fixed and upgraded.

It must have broken when I distro-upgraded the non-Mastodon server, but I've been so busy fixing all the other problems this caused that I hadn't noticed yet.

Still working on HubCat.

-- @woozle

I've had to take HubCat (#TootCat's Hubzilla instance) down temporarily to make room on the server (different server from the one that runs Mastodon).

I'll be resurrecting it as soon as other stuff is fixed (the server upgrade broke all the WordPress installs, and I didn't notice until yesterday).

I have unblocked inex.rocks, mainly because the original block was poorly documented and I therefore can't confirm whether the conditions which led to it are still applicable.

More details here: https://mew.toot.cat/mw/Pub/toot.cat/block_list/inex.rocks

If anyone has trouble with that site, please feel free to use the reporting feature or contact me directly.

Thank you!
