The fediverse is hosted in Germany and it shows. At least from our perspective, being a server phisically located in Brazil with a lusophone audience.

But most of the requests are from german (anonymized) IPs, because most of the federation is hosted there. The statistics are from Bunny CDN.

São Paulo comes in second because it's closer to our users or the peering/routing is better. I live closer to Fortaleza, but I end up being routed to São Paulo anyway.

It's nice that the fediverse isn't US-based for a change, but concetrating in a single european country is not so good either.

So I have a weird problem with my #SelfHosted Masotdon/Glitchsoc instance: when I log in from my PC I get the ‘Something went wrong on our end’ pachyderm smashing on keyboard error. I’ve tried a clean install (of the client system), Firefox, Edge, Chrome. Client access through Ivory is unaffected as is accessing it with Safari on my iPad. I’ve tried regenerating my secrets keys. Re-running the database migration. No joy. It’s a single-user instance running with #Yunohost.

#MastoAdmin

We're adding mastodon.cloud to our #Fediblock list due to the instance seemingly being abandoned with open signups and zero moderation. The burden of us suspending accounts locally is not practical when the instance is out of date and not being maintained.

It's been flagged since August last year - https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/115027342813989021 so I don't see it likely that anything is suddenly going to change.

Dear @admin ( noc.social ),

Here we are again. I am sensing something non-kosher.

It has been weeks, that I have been trying to reach you and have not heard back.

Please send me a password reset email, as I have forgotten my password.

Please respond, and have a nice day!

Thanks,

The Universeodon relay is now back up and running and migrated to our new environment.

I'll keep an eye for a little longer just to make sure everything continues to work as expected but it should be fine as far as I can see.

#MastoAdmin

Just as a quick note for the #MastoAdmin community - The Universeodon relay is about to be migrated to new infrastructure.

I'm expecting there to be a short blip where the relay will be down while I move the config and DB from the relay to the new server and switch our load balancer to use the new server.

This will then be the final item on our legacy server cluster that needs migrating (Which is frankly long overdue!)
