Been a hot minute since i’ve done one of these so here you go!

• It was a while ago, but the configuration bug which was leading our WebFinger to sometimes go down due to a logging error has been fixed!

• Daylight Savings Time has ended in North America! Set your clocks back, or don’t out of protest. 🕚

• Some of you may have heard rumour of some accounts mentioning a bunch of users and generally being harassing. Far as I know, nobody here has been affected, but if you ever have any problems let me know!

• Relatedly, I’ve recently gone and blocked a fair number of instances.
