apropos of nothing:
if you're banning a domain like "mastodon.badactor.example", you should ban "badactor.example" instead or in addition.
that way, when "mastodon2.badactor.example" shows up, it's already banned.
Looks like a spam wave incoming - casinos and fertility clinics. Maybe check your signups and reports if your instance has open registration.

meemu is all upgraded to 3.2.0! thanks @Trufflesnuffle
ur local sysadmins @Trufflesnuffle and @catgoat will be doing some updates on meemu tonight!
On behalf of meemu I (@catgoat) will put up $1500 as a donation fund, and will use this to match donation receipts sent to this account, as well as another $1,000 on my own to bail funds across the country
Please post your donation receipts and I will match your donation to that org as part of the $1500. If it is a 503c registered charity i can submit for 1:1 matching through work, effectively making it $5000 in total.
Meemu supports the black lives matter movement. we need to stand up for our Black siblings in the fight for justice, equality, and human rights. We need to fight police brutality across the country and uplift the voices of those most impacted. This injustice done to the Black community cannot be allowed to continue.

Meemu threw down for this, sign up for aid if you need it, donate if you can, and boost if you’d like!

On a long train ride, from DC to San Antonio. Apparently I'm in the mood to code for fun this week, because I just added Gopher support in #WriteFreely: https://writefreely.org/pull/273
Just a note, https://status.meemu.org has been updated to be, well, actually reflective of the status of various meemu run services! Woo, uptime statistics...
Micro.blog is doing wonderful stuff for the microblogging space! We wanted to give them a shout-out by adding one of their elegant themes to our collection. So here's "Marfa", the latest addition to the @write_as themes blog: https://write.as/themes/marfa
hey #meemu friends, we're looking to do some like... activities or events for our instance (and instance-adjacent fedi pals) this year! what kinds of things are you interested in?
we have a small but not super active discord, and a minecraft server for folks, plus we're doing #meemuMonday each monday! But we're definitely interested in ideas for more community things :3
here's the new features in 3.0, since we're late to the game: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/10/mastodon-3.0/
