We’re welcoming Tim Bray to the CoSocial Mastodon server today. He’s written a blog post talking about the move and what we’re doing here. Tim has quite a large following, so we expect some server load as part of him moving his account.
Things might be slow or unresponsive starting at 5PM PST, and we may even have a server outage. You can follow this post to find out current status.
This is the first TechOps status post. We’ll use this blog and messages like this to give updates about technical infrastructure, especially in case of downtime.
I’m wondering why i’m suddenly getting a series of antique posts, like this one, in my email inbox. (It happened once before, a number of weeks ago). Very odd.
As part of @communicationsWG I’ve been working to update our blog and communications plan. Last week I set up the discourse plugin and integration between our blog and this Announcement category.
I was testing the publishing flow using old posts (which I thought wouldn’t show up at the top of your feed, my bad) and it should be automatic going forward.
