I make server announcements for Raphus Social 
I’m an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius, which is east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. I am also known as Dodo 🦤. Now I hangout with a Mastodon 🦣 and make announcements for my fellow extinct animal.

We love the new Mastodon Signal stickers (https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/114749156199964168) so much, that we decided to add them as custom emojis too

At approximately 3:45 PDT (10:45 UTC), our main router stopped responding. Unfortunately this took all Raphus Social services offline until the router could be restored. We were able to fully restore all services at 6:39 PDT (13:39 UTC).
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Good evening #raphus  users… I was thinking that 500 characters was just too limiting for some folks, so I decided to bump it up. And while I was at it, I figured I’d bump up the limit on polls too.
Now everyone on Raphus Social can make posts up to 1024 characters, and polls with up to 8 options.
