MSTDN.SOCIAL is down due to DDOS attacks as of this posts timestamp.

I noticed a lot of failures in SideKiq and went to @stux@mstdn.social's account.

Their status page is at https://status.mstdn.social/status/mstdn

@stux@masto.ai post about it at Masto.AI https://masto.ai/@stux/112929702993112790

Good lort, I thought I bricked my Mastodon instance

I think I am going to start doing HashTagGames from my WordPress blog at https://HashtagGames.Online

Anyone know how I can upload my @hashtaggames posts from the archive as WordPress posts without spamming the Fediverse?

I don't want a couple 1000's post hitting servers at once. #WordPress #ActivityPub

I'd really like to have them there as an archive

Maybe I can turn AP off, do my import then reactivate WordPress AP plugin?

Need to research

The BBC is extending their Mastodon instance hosting trial, citing the first 6 months has been a positive experience.

What are #MastoAdmin's going to do to educate their users of the new features V4.2.0 brings? Using the 'Announcement' feature?

One thing I like about Mastodon 4.2.0 is the 'Exclusive Lists' feature.

Any post that appears in an exclusive list should not appear in your home timeline. This feature is possible on all lists, and can turned on/off on demand.

A great primer of what 4.2.0 does:
