Tuesday Upgrades (status update) Show more
The weekly backup from Monday took much longer to transfer than expected due to a slow connection (over 4 hours), which is delaying merging and testing the changes from Mastodon 2.7. I should be able to finish this up tomorrow barring any other trouble

Testing complete. Everything looks good. Will be starting the upgrade process after the backup completes.
This is one of many Mastodon instances in what we call the "fediverse" -- think of it kind of like an email service, but for a global social network.
Our instance focuses on keeping a stable server, and protecting privacy and safety of our users.

Changes are now merged, and testing is nearly done. We will be completing the upgrade to 2.7 later tonight (~11PM EST)
Sorry for the delay; had a bit of a full week which made finding time for pulling in the new changes difficult
