Hi oulipals! I found out just now that our policy on blocking instantiations that allow bad actors to post badly wants clarification.
oulipo.social WILL block instantiations and accounts that don't follow our community standards
look at our social contract and talk to your admin (hi!) if you don't know what a policy is
oulipo.social is back
on our way back up
our db is backed up fwiw
oulipo.social is broken rn, not sure why, sorry
Hi Oulipals!
I'm putting in $$$ and a LOT of hours to run this thing, and I'm happy to do that, but if you want to toss a dollar or two my way for hosting, you can: https://paypal.me/oulipo
oulipo.social is down, but it's all chill, should be back in a sec
anybody got thoughts on scaling up Mastodon on DO? I think oulipo is running a bit rough with this traffic influx. Should I up my box to 2x (from $10 to $20)? Or can I fix this without $$$? #MastodonAdmin
So much tacky art coming to my walls tonight 🙌
psst: https://oulipo.social/@mus IS MY MAIN I AM HARD AS NAILS
I can't clear my notifications on this instance. Is that just me?
the VERY BAD NEWS: I deleted all the data on https://oulipo.social. I used the wrong docker command while trying to increase my server capacity, and poof.
the BETTER NEWS: I know why I broke it and how not to do that next time. And it's now on a bigger server.
but I'm super truly sorry about all the wonderful oulitoots that were lost, and the accounts. That was my main mastodon account, so it hurts me most of all.
I think I may have accidentally deleted my oulipo.social database... again.
I gotta stop looking at monitors for a handful of hours. Carry on lipogramming without my support for a bit ❤️
sorry if this instantiation falls down whilst I'm away.
poor oulipo.social, it's working so hard! not sure why it's struggling so badly today
REQUEST: what other variant Mastodon instance's are people running?
If you know of an instance that uses a modified codebase, please let me know :heart:
oulipo.social is hanging. Possibly using a $5 Digital Ocean box that I already run another service on was not a scalable approach?
just want to point out that @mus runs one of the most interesting instances: https://oulipo.social/about/more
TL;DR on that instance the letter E is forbidden

if you know ruby and want to do a kind thing, I am stuck on a coding bug for this mastadon
