Fosstodon<p>We just heard the sad news that Mastodon.Technology is closing its doors at the end of the year.</p><p>Firstly, our thoughts go out to Ash at this difficult time. We really hope everything works out for you, @ashfurrow@mastodon.technology.</p><p>Secondly, if any of you folks on Mastodon.Technology are considering a move, you’re all welcome here on <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Fosstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Fosstodon</span></a> with your fellow nerds. Just mention you’re migrating when you sign up.</p><p>One more thing… <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Casio" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Casio</span></a> owners get preferential treatment! 😂</p>
Fosstodon<p>Welcome to the team, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@ru" class="u-url mention">@<span>ru</span></a></span> !!! 🎉</p>
Fosstodon<p>Hey again,</p><p>We believe that the technical issues we were experiencing earlier have been resolved. We're continuing to monitor the system to make sure everything is working up to our standards. </p><p>If you see anything that doesn't appear to be working as expected, please let us know!</p><p>Thanks!</p>
Fosstodon<p>Hey folks,</p><p>You might be having issues with things like image uploads and notifications not appearing (among other things).</p><p>We've exhausted our server resources (nice problem to have!) and are working on upgrading now.</p><p>Please bear with us...</p>
