As you have no doubt most likely noticed, the instance has been running very slow lately. I’ve made a few changes behind the scenes, and setup up Anubis to help deter any bot scrapes. Fingers crossed this is all enough to fix the issues.

If you continue to experience problems after this point, please let me know below.

Edit: I’ve also re-opened registration, but now requiring email verification and captcha. I the harassing user continues, I’ll swap to manual authorisation/questionnaire.

    As someone who hasn’t noticed a thing, I would like to commend your work. I have been following piefed dev for a long time, and this instance has amazing uptime, performance, everything. I don’t know how the user count isn’t magnitudes larger, but my time here has been most ideal and beyond excellent :D

      Thanks for the kind words! I suspect our leanings keep us a bit niche, but I like it that way. Beats having an instance where Nazi types feel comfortable to join.

      All good. I might still need to allow some stuff, so possibly mastodon and notifications might not get through Anubis. I’m waiting to hear back on what I need to allow.
