Supporting botsin.space
Hello! A bunch of people have asked for ways to support this instance. I am currently able to cover the expenses, so please do not worry about supporting if that's not an option for you! But if you'd like to help out, I've made two ways to do that.
First, I now have a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/muffinista
Second, you can Paypal me here: https://www.paypal.me/muffinista
ps i've put together a spreadsheet of server expenses here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15aiy_uWOYzXKqUAh_rBi8n2u2ikpUmKKYriZ1B2GNPo/edit#gid=0
Hi friends, I was able to mostly successfully update the botsin.space database server, but when I updated mastodon there were a bunch of errors. So, we're still on an older version of mastodon, but I hope to resolve that in the next day or two.
Also, I think it's possible some accounts are going to need to reset their password and/or access tokens. I'm not sure why this happened! I'm still trying to figure that out too.

well, a bunch of updates failed, so i will do some testing on that and see about scheduling this again soon
Hello from v3.4.6!

Hello all, I've made a choice to explicitly ban three types of content from the server:
1) police organizations
2) military organizations
3) cryptocurrency/blockchain content
Police orgs have actually been banned for a long while. I've added military orgs to the list because I think that's logcally consistent. I've added crypto to the list because the blockchain is an ecological and moral catastrophe.
Hi bot friends! The service I use to send emails from the server is having some troubles, so I've turned off new signups for the moment. If you are having trouble with your account you can email me at colin at muffinlabs dot com and I will help you out. Otherwise I hope to have emails working again very soon
