Sorry for the blip in uptime there, folks! Our root partition ran out of space (turns out Docker doesn't automatically rotate log files), but the problem's been fixed and we're back up and running now.
- @keith

Suspended monads.online for Stalin apologism, targeted harassment, and transphobia.

- @keith

Suspended relay.nazrin.moe, relay.freespeechextremist.com, and agentcasey@(all domains) for Nazism and racial slurs: https://anarchism.space/@ExperimentV/105781686919123725

We've suspended contrapointsfan.club for child pornography and federation with far-right instances, and are currently looking into reporting them to their Internet service provider.

We've also suspended nazi.social (for obvious reasons) and various instances associated with it. You can check the full list at https://anarchism.space/about/more

- @keith

We are no longer silencing kolektiva.social, the issue turned out to be smaller than originally thought.

We've silenced kolektiva.social due to some users voicing support for the recent right-wing violence, as well as some other generally suspicious activity.

Currently, you can still interact with Kolectiva users if you follow them, but this may change later as the situation develops.

More information is available in this thread: https://kitty.town/@GinnyMcQueen/105541813636688823

The server will be offline starting 11am EST tomorrow (Sunday, November 22) for migration. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Sorry for the downtime, but we're back online now! We're looking into what's causing these crashes, as well as a backup solution.
