Computer Fairies maintenance 

Please excuse the service slowdown as we perform maintenance removing accounts older than 6 weeks with zero total statuses, and suspended remote accounts, in order to clean up our database.

We've made the blocked instances list at about/more easier to read, there was also the addition of 2 new domains.

We'd also like to remind that any and all instance admins are free to appeal to blocks through the business email address.

We are starting preparations to migrate to a new codebase which will update this instance to 2.1.

We're not ready to make the switch though, so a downtime isn't planned just yet.

The Computer Fairies fork now has a GitHub organization page! github.com/computerfairies

We are working on rebasing to 2.1 and updating our theme changes and features to work with the latest stable version, which will then be redeployed on the server.

Nothing has been changed on the server so far, so don't worry about using Computer Fairies for now!

toot.love has been suspended from Computer Fairies for supporting nazism.

As a reminder, there is a list of instances blocked by Computer Fairies available at computerfairi.es/about/more

Two domains have been suspended due to aggressive behaviour:

niu.moe
libertarianism.club

Computer Fairies moderation 

niu.moe has been silenced from computerfairi.es due to imposing views we consider harmful. We are currently considering upgrading the block to a suspend and would like the input of this instance's users.

Considering interactions between users from both instances, we have not rejected media files from niu.moe while silencing their instance just yet.

mastodon.blue has been suspended from computerfairi.es due to the admin's complacency with harassment such as transphobia.

In light of recent events and the circumstances behind the original decision having changed, witches.town is no longer silenced by computerfairi.es.

Computer Fairies maintenance 

Services will go down briefly in a few minutes as they restart to add the doodle feature from the glitch-soc fork!

Computer Fairies moderation 

We have silenced witches.town following posts from the instance admin advocating self-harm. We have chosen not to fully suspend the instance yet due to the size of the instance and activity of their users there.

As a reminder, silenced instances are still federated with, only hidden from public timelines. However, as per standard procedure in Computer Fairies, blocks of either kind are accompanied by a media block, so images will not show.
