@mewmew Xeon E3-1245 V2 (4c 8t), 32 GB RAM, 2x480GB SSD. But we host a lot of stuff on this server, not just Mastodon.

The new server will probably have the same specs. We're just running out of storage space currently. Matrix is the other big resource hog, so one instance had to go. And god forbid I have to migrate our Matrix install again lmao

Hello, good people of Mastodon!

I'm going to be migrating this instance to a new dedicated server tomorrow at 11 AM (Central Time) so uh, there's gonna be some downtime 😄

@Phoenix_alx huh. Well, not anymore 👍

@kylejj thank you for your donation to PTIO btw, every time I visit our page this cracks me up lmao

@CyberSocialist so far it seems like a social network, kind of a mix of Facebook and Medium.com, but more privacy-focused, and it pays you for interacting & publishing content. Idk, you can see my page: https://www.minds.com/jonaharagon/ seems like an interesting idea as far as monetization goes.

well I made an account because it seems like an interesting concept (and also to shill my blog posts) so if anyone also has one feel free to subscribe 😜

@dump_stack oh that’s a shame. Care to elaborate?

Does anyone use minds.com? Thoughts? (Just found out about it, know nothing)

@dump_stack yes you missed something lol

@dump_stack @danarel @blacklight447 where do we claim everybody should be using a MacBook? You're creating issues that don't exist.

@kravietz always was.

@ajroach42 you could just print business cards with a link/QR code to a site they could stream from on their phones.

@mewmew lol yeah, my instance has been blocked a fair number of times by admins (of occasionally fairly large instances) that have never reached out or reported content beforehand. Usually because of one or two users. Per-user suspension exists 🙄

This is why everyone should host Mastodon themselves. It isn’t the job of instance admins with large userbases to (usually preemptively) block instances they merely don’t like, but here we are. C’est la vie.

Looking for volunteers who would be interested in translating privacytools.io to any variety of different languages (via Weblate). If you're interested shoot me a DM :)
