There’s been some fantastic work by others, and I see you all. And boost a lot of your good shit.
We’re all building this together, by our presence, by our code, by our outreach, by our care for each other.
I think this mostly covers it.
Hi, herd, I’m back!
💞 
Ps, did I ever tell you that I am 
?
(Totally seamless, no one will notice! )
Last time around I couldn’t deal with DMs due to lack of spoons, that is not an issue now, so my DMs are open, but always remember, for more efficiency it is in 9 of 10 times better to write me a public/unlisted message, especially when you have questions, so I can boost the questions I can’t answer at the moment.
It’s what I’ve been doing lately anyways, always just boosting when I can’t answer. There’s a chance that someone else can. Remember that you can use #NeedHelp and #AdminNeedHelp
In regards to this I will also be making myself an alt account for more of my private stuff. But also, just a place I can hang and chill when I’m not necessarily working. I will without hesitation block anyone who brings up work with me to that account.
So, if you want to talk about mastodon the project, you find me right here on @maloki as usual.
But if you want my private side, i'm over on @maloki 🕵️♀️ this one wont be open for everyone but posts probably mostly public.
I have a feeling there’s going to be a lot of questions. Some of you wont even know what I’m back from/for?
I’m back as Project Manager for #Mastodon.
I’m back from being sick, too sick to function. I ended up getting a month and a half of sick-leave, but it took me a while to actually get there. And that, together with some other stuff, has brought me back, on top of the world (that's how I feel)
https://discourse.joinmastodon.org/t/hi-im-back-i-missed-you/923
It’s not April 1, but I knew it then. I wanted to tell you all, because I mean wouldn’t it be a fantastically bittersweet cruel joke, that turned out to not be a joke?
At the same time I felt it was too mean, since then I’ve been sitting here eager, happy, and excited to tell all of you that I am back.
And hopefully back to stay.
I missed you all.
Hi. I'm back.
We've discovered an issue in 2.3.2 that, in rare cases, allowed users to create accounts with the same username as existing accounts. If you have already upgraded to v2.3.2, it is recommended to upgrade to v2.3.3 as soon as possible.
v2.3.3 is a small patch and requires no extra steps, only getting the new code and restarting Mastodon.
A new rake task is included to troubleshoot/clean-up.
