Happy one year anniversary, rva.party! To celebrate, the mastodon from our site header now has its own set of emoji, thanks to the amazing @dzuk!

Finally migrated up to v3.5.3 and some better database storage. Hopefully this instance will be online more regularly after the cleanup from these updates is done.

Okay, server is rebooted. Hopefully this should get the server working for a little while as I start digging into why Mastodon is having issues.

In the meantime, welcome

who have all joined in the past few months.

Once the admin is a bit less slammed by life this instance will get more interesting and stable.

rva.party had some issues earlier today. I'll be updating to 3.4.0 tonight,

Things were touch and go there for a sec, but ...

Welcome to v3.3.0

Okay, after a bad bout of laziness on new management's part rva.party is under new management.

After some skid's attempt at automated account creation, we're now requiring approval for new account creation. Hopefully this is a temporary measure!

Hi all, took care of some moderation tasks today. Cheers!

I fiddled with our Sidekiq configuration today. Expect some slowness for an hour or so as the job queues empty.

Welcome to v3.0.1!

Does anyone have a list of the gab domains? Thanks. #MastoAdmin

@Ls1ftw Welcome to the party!

Welcome to v2.9.2! This version brings an option to use a much simpler layout. New users will have this layout by default, but everyone can now choose in settings which layout to use.

There are other goodies in this release! Check out the details at https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/mastodon-2.9/

Thank you all for reports of the obnoxious spammer. Of course, I immediately suspended the account the moment I saw the reports.

Extra credit goes to an anonymous monads.online user who reported the spammer within 30 seconds of the account email being confirmed. You go! ✨

We're on 2.8.4!

Welcome to the party, @dopamine!
