sorry the server has been experiencing huge issues for the past 4 days (the home feed and notifications are frozen, among other things) and since notification did not work I wasn't notified until yesterday but couldn't look at it until today.
I had to ask for help from a mastodon contributor and we're still unsure what went wrong here.
If we've hit the right spot things should go back to normal by midnight UTC time. If not we'll still have some digging to do tomorrow.
Sorry for all this.
This instance upgraded to Mastodon 2.8.0rc1.
This release allows us to somewhat reopen our registrations and request invites directly on the main page without having to contact someone on the instance.
This release also adds polls as one of its main features, and plenty of other things. Full changelog below:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.8.0rc1
Please report any bugs or problem you encounter here as it is still a release candidate.
someone fucking implements something to not get fucking hundreds of spam, I can't do it anymore..
We now officially have a @Liberapay account for this instance. If you want to donate, feel free to do so.
We are currently experiencing a DDOS attack on our server which is slowing down federation considerably. Access and use of the instance is not affected though.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll do my best to mitigate the attack.

Transphobia, USA politics
Oh my god, that's terrible. The Donald Trump's administration is planning to make regulations to outlaw the concept of gender. It would have terrible repercussions for trans people.
