Apologies for the interruption to our usual services.

We think that our host (https://fedi.monster/) might have had some issues, but we've yet to verify this with them.

Anyways, we appear -- fingers crossed -- to be fully back now 🥰

Hi folks 👋

If you're currently on eightpoint.app and need a new server to migrate to, the Cult of Shiv admin would like to offer a safe harbour  

If you're interested in joining our small little community, based around the awesome stream queen @DarkEden, who streams regularly on her Twitch channel and runs a friendly Discord server, please message us or our lovely co-admin @jen for an invite  

You don't have to join the Discord server to take up the offer, but it's a very friendly and supportive community  Also, Shiv's streams are fun

Hmm.

Looks like we've updated to v4.3.0-alpha.4+glitch.

Neurospicy mind doesn't like the change 😅

For anyone else struggling on the #CultOfShiv, you can change your skin look by going to:

• Preferences
• Flavors
• Glitch Edition

There's also a new option for Quiet Public on posts.

PSA for #CultOfShiv users

For no particular reason, we've just increased the post character limit to 2 ^ 16 (65,536).

If this breaks anything, please just let us know ​

Otherwise, have fun 🥰

Hi folks 👋

The Cult of Shiv server will be going down from 15:00 to 16:00 UTC (GMT) today (2024-03-26) for an upgrade by fedi.monster.

So when we all suddenly disappear, it's not more unplanned caused by a forgetful admin (me) this time 😅

Apologies for the interruption to our usual services. It looks like our host (https://fedi.monster/) had some downtime.

We appear to be fully back now 🥰

PSA

Our instance is hosted by Fedi.Monster. They're switching to a new funding model, whereby their finances will be hosted by a non-profit on OpenCollective.

It's now a pay-what-you-want model to accommodate folks.

I'll be continuing to pay monthly to contribute towards our server's hosting, but if you want to contribute to them (AND can comfortably afford to do so), you can do so here:

FAO folks on the #CultOfShiv server.

I may have spent a while uploading 209 blob cat emojis  

Enjoy  

I sleep now 

Gay morning folks 👋🥱

I'm back at work today (albeit remotely), so apologies if I'm a bit more cumulatively tired again by the end of the day / week.

Don't worry though: there's zero chance of me breaking the #CultOfShiv again 😅

I'll be somewhat around nonetheless, so message me on Discord if you need anything urgent.

#GayMorning #GoodMorning

We're back folks.

Apologies for the unintentional downtime on the #CultOfShiv instance.

A nameless admin (*cough* me *cough*) may have forgotten to accept the transfer of domain ownership from a former admin, then thus not realised that the domain registration had expired.

It's all been resolved now and we're all back up and operational once again.

Apologies again!
