One two. One two. Is this thing on?

*ahem*

Brothers, xisters, welcome back. As you probably know, Cawfee Club has unprecedently been down for a month. What started as a weekend maintenance, kept dragging on and after a week or two, I became increasingly despondent and my mental state spiraled downwards. It was pretty much this feedback loop when the longer the instance was down, the less I felt like fixing things. So yeah, you could say it's my fault.

I could apologize endlessly, but for now, just seeing the levels of activity on here so high after only a few hours moves me beyond words. I really love you guys, and I missed you a lot.

A thorough explanation will come later. For now though, there's a particularly vile bit of disinformation I have to debunk - this downtime was NOT caused by updating Pleroma. I did not update Pleroma. I'm looking at you, hakui.

That being said, we'll be federating in whitelist mode for at least a day or two so that the server is not overloaded by catching up on too many posts. I'm open to adding any instances to the whitelist, just tell me the domains in response to this post.
