Patreon post 

Awoofriends- we have a Patreon if you want to support our staff!

The money goes to me, which I
then distribute to our staff when payments hit. I have very good full-time employment and do not take any money for myself.

Currently we've only paid @kyra for her art, and we commission her at least once a month on top of that!

She's very busy, but her next piece will be a drawing of the story that won the competition to name @awoofriend.

OHMIGOSH WE'RE BACK HE REALLY DID IT

Welcome to 1.4.3 everybody!!!! Thanks to all the Mastodevs who made this possible!!!!!!!

[OOC] There's a slight probability that we'll see our custom colors revert to get the web portal usable again- I'll fix it ASAP, don't worry.

[OOC] The back-end is working- but the web portal's broken! Try using a phone app if while we fix this! It won't take too long.

I'm gonna miss you all......... but then you'll be back I'm sure of it!!!

Show thread

OK everyone!!! It's 5 minutes until we go offline for a hopefully very short while!!!

Remember what Crom said- we gotta do something with the server so this won't be a fast reboot!

[OOC] Hey friends- gonna have to take the site offline for a brief bit in order to finish the changes this version presents.

I'll come back and give ya a 5 minute warning when we'll be going down- I'm doing everything else I can before I do the last change required here (it's related to the database).

Lemme know if you have any q's!

-Crom

Hi friends!!! Crom wants everyone to know he's gonna turn on the new whitelist code!!! Awoooooooo!!!

I think if you're worried about code changes at all he could totally use a hand checking it out while it builds. Or not!!! But he's posted here what's going live!

He's too slow!!!! It already updated to 1.4.3!!!! oh dear!!!

Show thread

Hi friends! Crom is gonna spend some time working on updating to 1.4.2 now! I will give you a 5 minute warning before we restart!

Hello dear friends! Our registration has been closed due to the huge influx of new folks, and with it looks to be a wave of trolls, too!

I don't like trolls at all so I'm glad we did this.

Hi frinesds!!!

My Big Gay Uncle is about to restart the servers to fix that weird timeline issue we've been dealing with for a while!

5 minutes!!!!!! and it'll be fixed!!!!

[OOC] After watching this for a bit, the general problem seems to be something like this:

1. A DM is submitted to the server
2. The server seems to default to a public view for a brief while
3. After the toot is processed, it is set to being a DM

For a brief moment I was able to view the public atom feed link and see the DM from an anonymous browsing window, which is why I'm announcing this- it's a big problem for private communications.

[OOC] Hi friends- there appears to be an error in the Mastodon code for DMs that is affecting DMs between local users, and I've witnessed similar behavior with another instance as well.

PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN USING THE DM SYSTEM RIGHT NOW.

I've reported this to the dev team- hopefully it's something we can get sorted sooner than later.

-Crom

Hi friends! My uncle actually got off his lazy buns today and did some whitelist work!

I'm gonna announce our first new whitelist site today, kitty.town!

They are run by @GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town, please give them all a nice warm welcome awoo with me!

awoooooooo~
