#mstdnca — Public Fediverse posts

@piefedadmin

(sigh) so now I am wary to use #Fediverse at all now not knowing which of whatever I may have 'politically' said would be routed to ICE.

Not to mention how each comment-test burns another 300 watt-hours uselessly burning down my planet. Next they'll be hosting on orbiting space servers? I want none of it.

Not great news for a Monday morning. Hopefully @chad can clarify #mstdnca but I'm really on pause here until these enemies of Earth confess and can be server-blocked.

Good news, everyone - since migrating to our physical server, we've processed over 1 billion Sidekiq jobs!

Anytime we process a post, a notification, an email, a retoot, a favourite, etc, that's a Sidekiq job in the background.

Don’t wait too long. If you’re thinking about it, back your account up and upload it to you new account. Once the cops move on his home, chances are they’ll seize the servers. Then there won’t be any access again.

So since when has #mstdnca been down?

This new report* with continued accusations and allegations of “long term and systematic theft of money” against Mr Ohman remains very concerning. 😢😬

@erin
I'm now home, have eaten & had a nice cup of tea & ready to respond more on depth, now.

First off, I'm going to give you some credit for actually responding to a few more loyal Chad fanboys/fangirls, honestly & openly. I respect transparency, a lot. I will take time to thank you, for responding with lack of transparency truths in your experience as past volunteer mod for #MstdnCA. You're one of very few who were brave enough to be open about massive & longtime lack of transparency with how Chad opted to run things. Most others are still cowardly about that, to this day.

Secondly. I don't know you. You don't know me. All we really know about each other, is what we personally choose to post in public. How we feel about what others share in public is personal. How I personally felt, reading your original posts & then reading all the replies to your post - absolutely enraged me & made the already awful PTSD triggers sound off even louder. I saw zero condemnations & too many of - we should just wait til courts decide. I saw too many white folks being OK with that pathological lying POS swatting me. They were more concerned about their instance going down. Your feeling of being attacked by me are nowhere even close to the traumas that Chad chose to enact on my family. Recognize the degrees & differences of real life harms & your personal feelings about me saying - "That's your friend!".

I have a LOT more to say. I've told everyone here that I'm doing another big thread on why how I was treated was wrong & how it's directly connected to why many POC women activists won't trust white folks.

https://beige.party/@PhoenixSerenity/116287920991444097

Part of my thread that's coming later this week will also discuss how being treated like shit/being disbelieved here (after getting swatted by a pathological liar who owns a huge Canadian instance, with a lot of ignorant supporters who seem unaware or don't care that their guy swatted me) - severely triggered my PTSD on being disbelieved when I tried reporting being SAed as a teen. I was bullied & ostracized for trying to report SA. People believed the rapist & not me. It brought up the same angry, disappointed & people are fucked feelings.
I had almost left Mastodon completely, due to that.

The Epstein Files triggered both of those hella horrible life memories, again. I'd never been swatted before Chad Ohman chose to send that racial violence to my home, shortly after my Dad died. That night was full of unnecessary police traumas too. I'm sick of people pretending to care & I find out they don't, when shit hits the fan.

I don't need fake support. I don't need cowardly folks. That shit ends up hurting me in the long run. I don't need any fucking devil's advocates either. Go hang out with Satan.

For those looking to migrate to a new server, whether that be from mstdn.ca or anywhere else, here's a no-fluff, step-by-step walkthrough which even includes a workaround to bring over select posts to your new account's timeline:

#mstdnca

I also won't foolishly trust anyone who knows a scumbag has treated me or others in abusive ways but they still choose to support the lying abusers over us or chose to stay mutuals & stayed friendly towards someone who chose to use racial violence with cops on our home. I'm not as hard on folks who joined after 2023. I'm not as forgiving with folks who were around when Chad used racial police violence on me. Those folks who were around when it all went down, chose to defend/justify/support the lying perpetrator. Even though the wankerbutternoodle tried to throw other #MstdnCa members under the bus - he tried to blame other users for his abuses on me.

Supporters of lying scumbag wouldn't be so keen to defend him if what happened to the nonprofit suing the scumbag or what happened to me/my family with weaponizing police - happened to them. It's weak, cowardly & hypocrisy, in action, by almost all white folks.

This helps to illustrate why many POC women don't trust many white folks. Why the heck should we, when we have these kind of white privilege fueled abuses happening to us & the white folks defend the wankerbutternoodle who was responsible for bringing that to our home, by white cops? Knowing how white cops treat POC women activists? Only reason is to punish us/try to scare us into silent submission. I don't silently submit. Especially to injustices. Especially when the perpetrator keeps lying. I get louder!

Don't fucking sic cops on my home & expect I will stay silent. Fuck that white silencing threat. I won't be quiet when privileged white folks abuse their privileges to try & harm me or my family. You all better know this.

@johnefrancis @coop Yikes! Searching the #mstdnca tag suggests some serious stuff might be going on. Like jail time for the server admin.

I left that server months ago after the moderators (maybe the admin?) were making up rules that applied only to me.
Apparently they didn't like that I was reporting posts that violated their terms, but were not at all what they were thinking about when they wrote those terms. 😈

RE: https://mstdn.party/@austin/111603979705045480

Hello #MstdnCa users! As a former user on mstdn.ca I want to let you know that your admin did this to your data before (and tried to skirt anti-spam laws). We don't use your data for fundraising here (though we still encourage you to donate!). And if you are looking for a simple instance to join, why not check us out?

If a leader in a non-profit or other organization is accused of theft (even if in another organization) they would normally step aside from any position of authority until such time as the matter is resolved.

With a Mastodon instance with a sole owner/administrator, and the servers in their house, that is not as easy. For mstdn.ca to continue operating it is essential.

In the meantime the choice is for the users to make their own decisions. I have chosen to move away from mstdn.ca while this is resolved.

This is a sad situation as someone with a lot of time for #Mastodon and a former (small) donor to #mstdnca

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@announcements/116266821872646846

This is scheduled to be a long-overdue financial update on #mstdnca, with details on the recent switch to self-hosted servers, and other updates on management & moderation.

https://news.mstdn.ca/state-of-the-instance-spring-2026/

But given yesterday's news about our benevolent dictator getting sued, with accusations of embezzlement, by another non-profit where he was serving as treasurer, things might get off agenda.

Either way, probably worth making an effort to participate if you still have a @@mstdn.ca handle. Sunday Mar 22, 3pm Edmonton time.

Edit: The session has been postponed. "A new date and time will be provided soon" per the announcements on the server and in edits to the blog post linked above.
No reason given.

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@announcements/116266821872646846

As a volunteer moderator on #mstdnca I want to spread the word about this - check your email, fellow @mstdn.ca kids. We want your engagement and help continuing to build and support this community!

Especially invited & encouraged are women, people of colour, queer, trans, and non-binary folks - your voices are important and welcome in our community and in how the instance operates too!

It’s spring? Maybe? Featuring the Mastodon Canada servers

#mstdnca #spring #mastoadmin #sysadmin

This is a notice that we will be hosting our Spring 2026 State of the Instance on Sunday, March 22, 2026, at 3 PM MDT (9:00PM UTC)

We will be hosting this meeting on Jitsi and will be open to Mastodon Canada members only. You will receive an email at the address registered to your account in the coming days with a link to our private meeting.

#mstdnca

https://news.mstdn.ca/state-of-the-instance-spring-2026/

This has been such a game-changer for me.

Our new custom-developed back-end hooks into all our resources and provides a holistic view of our infrastructure in a single pane of glass. We can dig into each service and application for troubleshooting and analysis, but the biggest feature is that it pushes a notification when new updates are available.

This way, I'm not logging into each asset individually; I just say "yup, looks good, update," and it does it.

Years saved off my life.

I'll share more about this tool during our upcoming Spring State of the Instance, of which the date will be announced this upcoming week.

And yes, I will be offering the repo for others to fork and use when I'm comfortable doing so. It's very custom-tailored to our infrastructure, but I'm sure many aspects can be reused.

Please continue to report these accounts.

Also - congrats to our high scorers on our down page. 😉

I hope the mini-games helped! We'll keep and use this down page in the future.

#mstdnca

So - I started work on moving our big database off of the cloud at around 11PM MST. It took some time to pull down that 450GB database, and it took a little longer than expected to restore that backup into our new database. As a result, our maintenance window was extended by three hours.

Once restored, we worked through some performance issues. This was expected as while we can test lots of things in a vacuum, sometimes without the real world load it's tough to know what to expect.

Once those performance tweaks were made, I saw some immediate improvement and we're now back and even better than before.

We're still working through the backlog of activity from the fediverse that we missed while we were down. It will probably take a few hours to catch up, so you'll see statuses from an hour or so ago popping up late. We're moving in the positive direction on this!

I've been looking forward to writing this for a long time: WE ARE FINALLY COMPLETELY OFF THE CLOUD. 🥳

#mstdnca #MastoAdmin

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@announcements/116118557878895498

Fam I'm realy excited about doing this tonight. As many know, it's been a long, long, long time coming.

This is going to save us hundreds of dollars a month and all indications say we're ready and prepared for this move.

Despite the confidence, we're taking all precautions to protect our lifeblood database. If there's any indication of error, we will work to mitigate it during the downtime or will roll back.

We have every protection in place and my number one concern is making sure that we protect the integrity of our community.

If you want real time updates, join our Discord: https://discord.gg/tym8jVYM

(We will be moving away from Discord when we have the appropriate option figured out)

#mstdnca

Mastodon Canada will be taking a full and complete downtime to migrate our 450 GB database from the cloud to our servers.

We're reserving four hours for this work; we don't expect to use the entire time.

This is also a heads up to other #MastoAdmin that we may fill up your Sidekiq retry queues during this time.

Updates will be provided here as they become available: https://status.mstdn.ca/maintenance/831038

#mstdnca

@chad on #TheCanadian I'm seeing 500 errors for media from some #mstdnca posts. Digging into it a bit more, the remote URLs are showing `cdn.mastdn.ca`. I'm seeing that mastdn.ca is a registered domain, but `cdn.mastdn.ca` isn't loading. Did y'all sunset the domain? If so, I'll patch the remote_urls to `cdn.mstdn.ca` (which seems to work) on my instance.

Hello all!

We're currently trying to move this account to @technically_good (so do not be alarmed if you received a follow from there.)

The only thing is: Setting up the alias at the new account isn't going through at all, presumably due to the high latencies. Importing our follow list & auto-following anyone at #mstdnca fails as well, presumably for the same reason. 😔

Still trying to decide which instance we're going to go with. Setup has been quite the journey so far - hopefully the dust settles soon! 💜

Hey folks, I know Giving Tuesday was yesterday and I purposefully avoided it because there's many causes that deserve your dollars more than us.

If you have something left, I'm contributing more to keep our community alive than what we're getting in, and I know that we can fix that.

If everyone who read this contributed $5, we'd be in a much better position, paying off backed-up invoices.

If everyone who read this committed $10 monthly, it'd pay off our hardware deficit. The hardware I bought to get us off the cloud, I bore the entire $25,000 cost. I'm fine with this as long as we can chip away at it... But as it is, we're not.

Right now we're $453 behind on monthly costs. The physical servers are fine at being chipped down, knowing we're solidified for years to come.

https://canada.wordcamp.org/2025/about/schedule/

Are you going to WordCamp Canada in #Ottawa? Let me know, reply here! I'd love to set up a Mastodon meetup! Even if you're not going to WordCamp, Ottawa and area friends, let's meet up!

We have time on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday night to make it happen.

Please vote below all the evenings that work for you and reply so I can loop you in on our decided meetup location!

First 50 who attend our Mastodon Canada meet-up will leave with a mstdn.ca pin designed by the irreplacable @jace!

Location will be on Sparks or nearby. Please complete the poll and then reply so I can circle back with you!
