@pony yeah sorry about that, the server has been running behind all day, i'm working on taking carte of that

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!

@pschwede nope, what's up?

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.

@kensanata yeah i turned on invites for existing accounts a few weeks ago. it's mostly an experiment so i haven't announced it yet. anyway, glad you're all set!

@kensanata argh, sorry, if you sign up again i'll approve the account

@serindelaunay huh, that's strange. it's probably an instance issue since i'm running a forked codebase, i bet i messed something up. i'll take a look, sorry about that!

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

@Transflux dunno! it's not my bot

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

@jonbro it probably depends on the specifics? I like the idea though

@alexl mmhmm, go on

@alexl second statement first: yes I do have an account on gab. I am exceedingly aware of how it operates. First statement second: logically speaking, if gab is like the others then it has no need to exist but you already knew that. Anyway, the decision is mine alone, was made as a fully informed human, and is not negotiable. Good day

@alexl I made an informed decision, sorry

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!

@ojahnn bot on!
