Scheduled downtime: 17th June, 9am CDT/2pm UTC - Hexbear
www.hexbear.net
Context: https://www.hexbear.net/post/159221 We are planning on doing the final site migration to upstream Lemmy this Saturday. We are currently unsure exactly how long we need for the entire process. Our estimate is around 12 hours of total downtime; we'll update this post when we have a more accurate estimate. Hexbear will be inaccessible during this time. For updates on progress on the day, please follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/chapo_chat Whilst we'll gain the ability to federate with other Lemmy & Mastodon instances, federation will initially be disabled. More on this in future posts. --- We expect to encounter a few more UX-related bugs after the relaunch that will require more work, so if you are open to volunteering a bit, we are looking for frontend developers who can help figure out and fix some of those UX issues. If you think you can help, please send me a message on Element (@layla:chapo.chat [https://matrix.to/#/@layla:chapo.chat]) . Finally, none of this is possible without your continued support! If you enjoy the site, please consider donating via our Liberapay [https://liberapay.com/hexbear] or Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/hexbear] :hexbear-retro:

It’s happening, folks

    Awesome! Hopefully the cross instance struggle sessions aren’t too crazy, for when y’all decide to federate

      They have higher energy than we do. I hope we can simply agree to disagree on their points where they engage in tailism, ultra-ism, and other various forms of liberalism and counter-revolutionary thought. Though these points are few, I am a stickler on some of them and I may have to have a near-cry moment if they come in and take over entirely. Hexbear/chapo is something best done in limited doses. Whereas this place is very chill and cool and I feel very safe here with all my good comrades (and friendly federal agents pretending to be comrades, lest I leave them out), they can be chaotic, unhinged, wild. Not always a bad thing but I need a space to turn it off.
