(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.

Hey folks 👋 #MstdnPlus went offline for a few hours due to a networking error with our host last night, sorry about the inconvenience. I'm looking into this so it doesn't happen again!

Any posts we missed from the people you follow should backfill very soon, so check back soon. Let me know if you notice any issues!

#MstdnPlus has been upgraded to Mastodon v4.2.3, a minor update which fixes some bugs. As always, let us know if you notice any problems!

Changelog: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.2.3

#MstdnPlus has been upgraded to Mastodon v4.2.0, the next major version of Mastodon with a ton of new features, read the announcement from the official blog: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/09/mastodon-4.2/

Technical changelog: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.2.0

I will not be suspending/defederating Threads[.]net on my Mastodon instances, and I've written a post to explain why and preemptively answer some questions for everyone who trusts me with their accounts:

https://fediverse.neat.pub/2023/07/10/threads/

I hope this explanation makes sense for those who wanted us to defederate with Threads. Federating with Threads does not impact your own privacy, contrary to popular claims. We still reserve the right to limit/silence Threads (and likely will after they launch, I elaborate on this in the post above).
