The migration seems to have completed without any issues, please let us know if you experience any problems.

IMPORTANT Computer Fairies Maintenance 

Attention Computer Fairies users:

Due to increase in queues and traffic, we're starting to experience out of memory issues.

We will change plans to the next Linode tier (4GB), however, this will mean an estimated outage of 38 minutes.

We will start the upgrade process at the bottom of the hour (in about 15 minutes from this post)

Thank you for your understanding.

Welcome back!

The instance is now upgraded to Mastodon 2.5.0. Along with that, a few changes:
- We now have local-only toots! You can find it along with the other post privacy options.
- Most of the items in the Getting Started column are now in a menu above the compose box.
- We tweaked the Computer Fairies theme slightly to fix issues and attempt to improve readability. Let us know what you think!

Hello Fairies!

In a short while the instance will restart for the 2.5.0 upgrade. Downtime should be near negligible if everything goes well.

We're back! Sorry about the downtime.

We are now running on Wasabi for external media, everything should be in place but if there are any issues please let us know.

We will be taking the instance offline at 4:30 AM GMT-3 (15 minutes from this writing) in order to migrate away from AWS and to Wasabi as our new external media host.

Heads up, we might go under a bit of downtime as we try to resize the VPS disk on Computer Fairies. We hope to be back as soon as possible!
