#mstdnparty — Public Fediverse posts

Hello all, we've just updated to Mastodon v4.6.2. As always, if you notice any issues please let us know!

For information about the Mastodon 4.6 updates, check out the announcement blog post: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/06/mastodon-4.6/

#MstdnParty

Hello #MstdnParty -

If you noticed any downtime this morning, this was because we received a massive amount of traffic from a very large number of IPs, all behind the AS132203 network "Tencent Building, Kejizhongyi Avenue"

Bots on this network appeared to be scraping every possible hashtag under the /tags/ path, which consumed all the available database connections between pgBouncer and Postgres.

Earlier this morning we mitigated these requests, and the server returned to normal.

#MastoAdmin

Am I the only one who feels #mstdnparty incoming federation is laggy now?

@Crystal_Fish_Caves mstdn.party instance must be having problems because it is way behind on its jobs.

No new hashtaggame games plays have picked up for hours and your live feeds are hours behind.
#mstdnparty

The administrators of #MstdnParty #MstdnPlus propose to appoint @gcvsa as #moderator on mstdn.plus. If you have any concerns about this individual or this decision, please reach out to me or to @jonah by 11:59pm AoE Sunday, January 18. Thank you for your attention!

#MastoAdmin

Some fixes are applied which appear promising so far, I'm seeing better performance already, so hopefully things will level out soon. I'm still keeping an eye on it 👀

#MstdnParty

I'm still looking into performance issues with #MstdnParty that began ~3 hours ago, stay tuned 🙂

#MstdnParty has been upgraded to Mastodon v4.4.1!

Mastodon 4.4 comes with a ton of new features, which you can read more about on their blog: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/07/mastodon-4.4/

As always, let me know if you notice any issues!

#MstdnParty has been upgraded to Mastodon v4.3.9! As always, let me know if you notice any issues.

#MstdnParty and #MstdnPlus wants new #moderators! If you would like to help this instance to prosper and further its mission of facilitating public discourse, please see how to apply at https://mpp.bus-hit.me/moderator/. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me as well!

(FYI: you do have to be a current user on either instance.)

#MstdnParty #MstdnPlus users: due to recent developments, and after reinterpreting policies, the instances have temporarily limited threads.net. Local users are welcome to provide feedback, publicly or privately, under this post until January 19, after which the final decision will be made based on feedback. Please read the announcement for more details. Thank you for your continued support!

Automated tooling has now been installed on #MstdnParty and #MstdnPlus to address reports of #spam from and to the instances.

For other #MastoAdmin's: all accounts use gmail addresses. One IP is 89.163.206.181 (German VPS) and the other is 122.165.217.244 (Indian fixed-line); it's unclear what pattern there is to actually prevent this attack.

#MstdnParty has been upgraded to Mastodon v4.3.1! As always, let me know if you notice any issues. 🥳

(Update: the proposal has been scrapped. 新规计划已取消。)

#MstdnParty #MstdnPlus users: I plan to add a new rule mandating the use of #AltText in images. The proposal is available below. Any feedback is welcome!

本人将于旗下的两个站点近期计划出台一项新规，将替代文本（又称图像描述）的使用义务化。具体细则请参照下方的链接。欢迎各位用户提出宝贵建议！

Okayyyy, I made a bit of a mistake (saved the database dump to /tmp and subsequently rebooted before restoring the backup).

It's not a huge deal, I just have to redo the database backup (which took a while the first time around), so... mstdn.party is going to be offline a little longer than I hoped 😢 #MstdnParty
