Okay #UnionPlace, hold on tight, I'm trying a `pg_repack` on our database. It should keep running while I'm doing it.

I hate that I pay almost as much for snapshots (for backup purposes) for #UnionPlace as I pay for CPU time. But I don't exactly want to lose the data!
I really need to figure out how to do a proper vacuum/cleanup on the database without a long downtime. I've found a bunch of docs but haven't […]

Hello #UnionPlace !
We have historically maintained federation with threads.net, but with a "limit" in place, in the interest of our mission to provide broad networking/communication.
More and more I'm feeling like that is the wrong decision. So, local users, please let me know: are you for […]

Sorry for a few minutes of instability #UnionPlace , I just did a bit of system maintenance (I probably should have done that before / separately from asking for money, but hey, it shows you I'm a real human. Mostly, anyway. Allegedly. I think. Or so the voices in my head say.)
:solidarity:

#UnionPlace announcement: if you get a notification that we've blocked a.gup.pe, don't be alarmed; unfortunately this popular group subscription service had its domain bought out from under it, and is now pointing to a spam blog. 😞
We have blocked the domain proactively to prevent them from […]

Lol, just looked back at my Stripe declines, somebody tried to validate a BUNCH of stolen cards by attempting to "donate" $1.00 at a time to #UnionPlace at the beginning of May. Looks like they got some through, too.
Seriously guys? Testing your stolen cards against a non-profit? Not cool.

Howdy #UnionPlace, doing a spot of server maintenance, may be a few minutes downtime here and there in the next hour or so. Don't panic, we're not going anywhere.

I feel like Mastodon is doing me dirty on its notifications of new user sign-ups on #UnionPlace, or there's just a bunch of cool users that I somehow missed the notifications for. While working on my Labor & Unions starter pack I'm finding all sorts of local accounts I totally should have been […]

Hey #UnionPlace, sorry things might have been a bit unstable for a little while there - a disk filled up and for some reason alerting didn't fire properly. We'll look at the alerting, in the meantime, everything is back up and running now.
We may see some catching-up of federation that was […]

Speaking of which, #UnionPlace is operated by Labor Union Networking, Inc., a 401(c)(3) non-profit (we never did end up going that route with #DynDNS) and your contributions are always welcomed and appreciated. 😉
https://www.laborunionnetworking.org/donate will get you going down the right […]

I long for the feeling of running a service that people value and enjoy on the Internet again. I mean, #UnionPlace is great, y'all, but there aren't enough of you to feed my ego and joy (also: you aren't enough work, which is good and bad 😂 )
