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

Hey, if you signed up for an account here and it was rejected, it might've been on a day like this, and I may have done it by mistake! Please feel free to reapply and please do fill in the reason for the account when you sign up

Stay classy!

hi bot friends, i just disabled an account posting messages supportive of white supremacy. that sort of messaging is absolutely unacceptable on this instance and will get you banned immediately without warning. if you see it, please notify me via DM or file a report

testing!

hey folks, FYI that i'm going to take the server down for a couple of hours sometime tomorrow for some server maintenance

hi friends! there's been a lot of load on botsin.space for the last few days, and there's been some downtime as a result. i'm working on the problem now. thanks!

OK, now I think we're really back. Not my finest hour, sorry for the downtime!

Hi friends! Well, this upgrade went..... poorly. I think botsin.space is back now, but I might need to hack at a few things before I'm done.

PSA: Planning on running server upgrades this coming Wednesday!

Hey bot friends, just wanted to give a heads up that I am travelling for the next few days, so there might be some delays in any moderation/signup requests.

Greetings! I'm going to take the server down in a little while to run some updates

hello to everyone signing up here to check out @SecretlyPublicDomain! if you like bots and/or art things, please say hello to the other bots here too

Also, just a heads up that the servers are getting hammered lately, and there is a backlog of signup requests. I'm working on both, sorry!

Hi folks, blocking freefedifollowers.ga because it's the spammiest spammer that ever did spam

So I've been processing account sign-ups and trying to be quick about it, and one thing I occasionally do is reject signups that don't fill out the "why do you want to join?" field. I'm suddenly realizing that this means I've been rejecting some legit signups that just happen to leave this field blank. So if you have a reason in mind, please out it there, and if you don't, it's okay to say that too! If it's blank, I have no idea at all what your intention might be. Thanks!

Hello from v2.9.4

PSA: I'm planning on running some updates to botsin.space tomorrow morning (ie ~24 hours from now)

Hi friends, I'm getting a weird error here, no idea if other people are getting it, and I'm travelling so debugging it is a little tricky! pls let me know if you are experiencing weird issues

I don't talk a lot about what servers are blocked on botsin.space, but FYI gab is blocked here and will continue to be blocked in whatever form it takes
