We've decided to make Fosstodon invite only. You can read more about the decision here:
There have been some reports of problems uploading images to #Fosstodon when using #Qutebrowser. Is anybody else experiencing this?
We've just flipped our CDN from #Bunny to #Fastly (#Cloudflare is next in the coming days).
Everything looks good, but if you see anything wonky with media not loading etc. please reach out to @kev or @mike.
A few people have asked about our use of Cloudflare. Here’s details on how we use it, and why.
Here's our position on the "Facebook joining the Fedi" mess...
If you’re having problems loading images on Fosstodon, you will need to clear your browser data and log back in to fix the issue.

Ok folks, in light of the outage and DDoS from the last 24hrs, we've setup a backup Fosstodon account - @fosstodon@mastodon.social
Please follow that account too if you want to keep up with outage notifications etc.
Here's an update as to what's been going on behind the scenes by @kev.
We did a thing...because, why not? 
Help support Fossotodon, today!
Friendly reminder to everyone on Fosstodon - this is an English-speaking instance, so we would request that all public Toots be posted in English please.
You can read more about why this rule exists here:
We just heard the sad news that Mastodon.Technology is closing its doors at the end of the year.
Firstly, our thoughts go out to Ash at this difficult time. We really hope everything works out for you, @ashfurrow@mastodon.technology.
Secondly, if any of you folks on Mastodon.Technology are considering a move, you’re all welcome here on #Fosstodon with your fellow nerds. Just mention you’re migrating when you sign up.
One more thing… #Casio owners get preferential treatment! 
Welcome to the team, @ru !!! 
Hey again,
We believe that the technical issues we were experiencing earlier have been resolved. We're continuing to monitor the system to make sure everything is working up to our standards.
If you see anything that doesn't appear to be working as expected, please let us know!
Thanks!
Hey folks,
You might be having issues with things like image uploads and notifications not appearing (among other things).
We've exhausted our server resources (nice problem to have!) and are working on upgrading now.
Please bear with us...
