We had a long outage at sciences.social today. Our mastodon hosting provider masto.host is great, but the large infrastructure provider, OVH, that physically runs masto.host’s machines tried to replace a failing disk on the drive array for our database server and messed that up royally. Masto.host fixed the problem OVH created. I’m gonna look at putting up info to communicate sciences.social status on a static platform so at least you have an easier way to check.
Apologies for the downtime.
