Good news: It looks like awoo.space's issues with object storage have been resolved. I'm sorry for the inconvenience (mostly not seeing avatars and emojos).
They haven't told me they fixed it (might be putting some finishing touches) but I'm guessing we have Wasabi's engineering team to thank for this one, the supporters I talked to were very nice and competent, I'm looking forward to many years of keeping my stuff on their servers.
I should probably figure out a backup strategy though 😅
Awoospace is patched against the new Mastodon security issues. Huge thanks to the glitch-soc maintainer @Claire!
So, now that mastodon.social has made this issue public I can disclose that awoo.space had the same misconfiguration issue. If you exported your data it might've been leaked. I'm not sure how long it's been configured that way but it must've been since before I was the admin.

Hi! I just added a number of instances to awoo.space's allowlist. I decided to start with mostly private instances to get the list down to a manageable size faster, so that's why it's mostly those. See read more for the list

Awoo! We're now federating with these new instances
https://monsterfuckers.online (admin contact: @snarkydragonbutt)
https://jubi.life (admin: @GTSAttendant)
https://queer.garden (admin: @moiety)
(sorry about the multiple posts)
AWOO! we're back! @noiob says sorry for the extended downtime. Our new server is faster but it's gonna take some time to catch up with the rest of the fediverse, so it might still feel a bit slow for a while, but with the added power awoospace should be more stable than ever
Masto PSA: If you're still using a third-party service to delete old posts check your instance's /statuses_cleanup
path (Automated post deletion in settings).
Setting it up there instead of externally allows your instance to process the deletes only when it has the processing power to spare which is important rn as instances get hit hard by the current influx of users and activity :)
I've temporarily opened invites for all awoo.space users, you can now generate invite links for your friends if they wanna come here. Don't share them publicly. they're under https://awoo.space/invites
say awoo! to https://werebeast.io, who we've been federating with for a while now. Their admin is @VK3VKK
Awoo! We now federate with https://transmom.love, which is run by @elilla!
