If you were using file.garden links in your #CBTS bot, please go ahead and re-set your preferred posting frequency and save your changes. The issue was resolved by the domain owners earlier this week.

It looks like there is an issue with file.garden, one of the sites I've recommended to #CBTS users for image hosting in the somewhat recent past.

Per their Blue Sky post (https://bsky.app/profile/filegarden.com/post/3li2t6ljobs2x), GoDaddy has terminated their .garden TLD registration and they are at filegarden.com for now, but direct links are not working.

File Garden (@filegarden.com)

GoDaddy confirmed they blocked file.garden for violating TLD community guidelines. This is the first I'm hearing of this, and they aren't clarifying how their guidelines were violated. They say our registrar Porkbun is responsible for appealing the block, so I'm in contact with them now.

Looking for a bot-friendly instance to migrate @cooljeaniusbot to, now that BIS is in read-only mode. My bot is a #CBTS bot that posts randomly-generated political positions/ideas/statements that roughly correspond to my own. Any suggestions?

MythBot has been migrated over to @mythologybot with botsin.space having its retirement.
All #CBTS bots that have botsin.space as their instance will have their post frequency changed to 0 (Never Post) programmatically on Saturday.

@lexipenia I'm setting up my bot on zirk.us with cheapbotstootsweet.com but can't get past this error message. Is there something that blocks #CBTS? cc @boodoo

Hi @boodoo, I'm trying to set my (= @selfhelp_ebooks) post frequency on #CBTS from Every Hour to zero, but can't change the setting at all. Same for all but the Reply and Share menus.

I don't know precisely what this means for #CBTS. Its existence isn't contingent on any single instance, but that was the recommended default so give me some time to figure that out.

Did a little bit of tinkering with @blackjoy the other day, a little link fixing and adding a few new pics. Haven't yet found the time to transfer it from #CBTS to self-hosting due to being crazy busy, although that is still on the table. #bots

Now the question is: Is it finally time to move @blackjoy off #CBTS, give it a more functional and flexible codebase, and run it on my own box? 🤔 (And do I have enough time and energy to do it before I get distracted by IRL again?) #bots

my gratitude to all these wonderful bot toolmakers for making creative bots so fun and accessible :') i'd kind of lumped them all together in my head but it's so wonderful that multiple people have made it possible for this ecosystem work so well
