just gonna leave this sql query here in case anyone else needs to work around the moderation interface's lack of ability to answer the question "who here follows who on that instance"

SELECT a1.username, a2.username FROM follows JOIN accounts a1 ON a1.id=target_account_id JOIN accounts a2 ON a2.id=account_id WHERE a1.domain='example.com';

the cybre.space matrix hit a bug which smells a lot like https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8220, which luckily was fixed in synapse 1.20.0 (the latest version, released yesterday). i've upgraded so hopefully things should be fixed now, there might be a delay in matrix federation while things catch up

maintenance is complete, and the matrix server is back online. thanks for your patience!

maintenance is ongoing; i'm migrating the database to its own server node and upgrading it to a new postgres version in the process. the matrix database is quite large so this is slow going.

the cybre.space matrix server will be going down for maintenance at 2pm PDT (in 3 minutes) for a bit, hopefully not longer than an hour

hey folks --

this doesn't affect anyone already here, but i've decided to stop doing semi-open registrations on cybre.space via patreon/liberapay donations.

this was originally put in place as a way for us to keep getting funding even after wide open registrations were closed. however, we've been okay on funding for a while now and the community has grown pretty large over time.

the patreon registrations aren't a huge volume of new users but cybre.space has nonetheless steadily grown over the last year or two. at this point we're about at the maximum size we're comfortable with moderating.

we will continue to allow registration by personal invite, so if you have a friend you'd like to join fedi you can still feel free to invite them here

your continued support is much appreciated. thanks, and have a wonderful day!

@hax can't decide if that's good or not, after the 10th one in a row it starts to feel a lot less useful

@xnx38h @vantablack i just poked it, can one of y'all confirm whether tusky is showing the right limit now

@rick_777

since viomi was unwilling to listen to the people most affected by the situation with Mint and admit that shiv was causing further harm with ver actions earlier today, ver account here has been locked. being nominally anti‐racist or having some BIPOC in support of your actions doesn’t give you a free pass to ignore the voices of the BIPOC most affected by the events at hand, and in this case those people were not being listened to.

please reach out to @LadyKIBI, @nightpool and myself if you have questions about this decision

@rick_777

@devurandom @00dani oh yeah i think i know what i need to change, someone asked for this a while ago but i lost track of it. i'll add it to my tracker for the next mastodon upgrade

@rick_777

@hax developers of the "husky" fork of tusky added several instances, including cybre.space, to the app's blocklist after receiving flak for removing gab from it

just use tusky folks. if you're reading this and you wanted to use husky because the upstream app blocks gab / spinster, let me know and i'll swiftly escort you to our blocklist

@vantablack

@AndiBumble cant look into it at the moment but there are some longstanding issues with these imports failing halfway through (e.g. due to followers being on servers that have since died)

if your lists arent restored by later tonight i can look for more specific info for ya

@frostclaws @haskal thanke

@shadow8t4 thankye kindly
