Poor li’l blighter got attacked by a bin chick’n and was limping away last we saw em… after goin’ the bin juice drinkin’ irrit of course.

Apparently I was wrong, it’s decided it’s done and working again now.

The pict-rs upgrade is ongoing.

From what I can tell it’ll be about another 5 hours. I’m going to have to go to bed and check on it in the morning.

Unfortunately the stock-standard lemmy-ui doesn’t like it that pict-rs is migrating to a new version of database and not serving images, so it’s stubbornly just not working at all.

Our best haj, Shonky (they/them) is available now, over at their own Github repository for use when referring to Blåhaj Lemmy.

I’m guessing we’ll need them to make an appearance for the Canvas template.

I have been watching my love tie herself in knots over the last several days, having to deal with the drama that has been brought on, trying her best to bring everyone back together.

There’s been bad behaviour from both sides, and I’m really disappointed to see that some of the worst of it came from our users, who didn’t keep to the moral high ground, disregarded our instance rules and stoopped to levels of behaviour worse than that leveled against them.

There have been accusations against us (or Ada specifically) that we are a safe harbour for bad behaviour and cause harm to trans people through our inaction.

This is perhaps the cruelest accusation they could have leveled at Ada, as she works tirelessly to maintain a safe space for our community, and while I was hoping, for all the effort that she was investing into this issue, that she could make it work despite my own reservations, this last attack on her impeccable morality has made me very angry.

I’m sorry for those that wanted to remain federated, sorry that it came to this, but I am glad it’s over now, purely for the mental health of my precious beloved.

Okay, so that was way more painful than expected… /sigh
