Emma - support, announcements @Emma@anticapitalist.party

friendly reminder that Activity Pub (the protocol that lets your posts and instance federate with other instances) is not a secure method of communication. please don't use the fediverse for mission critical communications, organizing actions, or sharing personally identifying information. that's just not what AP was designed for.

PSA: if you need secure communications, use something with end to end encryption.

ACP is fully back and functionnal, please report any issue you would encounter

ACP is back! You could experiment some timeline issue during 5/10 minutes

For your information, the maintenance will start in less than 15 minutes

ACP will go down tomorrow at 10am UTC for database migrating. Excpect a 30 minutes downtime. Thanks to @mastohost for the hard work 🎸

greenlifeplus.net got suspended.
Have a good day/night.

:battery_charging:

not-new emojo @ghost didn't know existed until just now:

today's 👊 goes to kneegrows.top

by the way:

there have been a few more turd waffle instances silently suspended over the last week or so too, but we haven't had a chance to keep the block list on https://anticapitalist.party/about/more updated. we'll do it as soon as we can.

in the meantime, if you keep reporting fascist instances as they stink up the TL, we'll keep suspending them. thanks for your help, y'all.

We have decided to continue silencing bofa.lol.

a statement is here: https://telegra.ph/Anticapitalistpartys-decision-to-silence-Bofalol-09-02

bofa.lol instance is currently silenced on ACP (not suspended, it means you can still access it if you want) and we received a request of un-silencing.

Although we don't think of un-silencing it, we would like you to share some thoughts about it, if you have any.

Thanx.

Bonjour, we suspended a small amount of instances, see https://anticapitalist.party/about/more#loli-2018-08-suspending for more details

- @smonff

we've suspended @wilw

our list of blocked instances has been updated: https://anticapitalist.party/about/more/

as a reminder:

SILENCE means the instance does not show up in our federated TL, but you can still follow and interact with a silenced instance's users.

SUSPEND means the instance does not federate with us at all: they will not show up in our TLs and users here cannot follow or interact with a suspended instance's users.

The instance encountered some TL issues: toots got accumulated in queues and were not delivered as expected since a couple of hours.

This situation is still in progress but we are recovering faster than the speed of fediverse
thanks to @hugo

Please be patient, we are almost back to normal.

For your information, ACP is now hosted on a shared server containing many Mastodon instances, called @mastohost.

It means that we are not anymore on a dedicated server maintained by @corzntin but on @hugo's infrastructure.

It is still hosted in france though, if it can make any sense.

Thanks to @corzntin and @hugo for all the nice work.

we are back! on a shiny new server. it'll take some time (20 hours or so?) to finish getting all the media where it belongs, but everything else should be working okay. thanks for your patience.

random fun fact: ACP users have posted ~100,000 images!

thanks, @hugo for being lightning fast with the changeover.

Going down soon, see you on the other server 🎈

Reminder that ACP will get down today around 6pm UTC for an undetermined time.

You can follow our admins backup accounts to get information during the maintenance time.
