Up until now our main means of communication outside the site during e.g. downtime has been via our Twitter account. Given @hexbear@matapacos.dog.
If you’re on Mastodon already, please give us a follow! And if you’re not, you should sign up! https://toots.matapacos.dog is an instance hosted by our very own @PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net. See you on Mastodon folks 😎
Matapacos is running a fork called Hometown. It is one major version behind, but receives timely updates for security issues (like the recent “TootRoot” CVE).
The fork gives us the ability to make local-only posts, and increase the character limit, among some other changes.
The official app is relatively new, and I haven’t heard a single person say anything great about it. My understanding is that there are superior 3rd party apps. IMO, the website works just fine, and provides access to all features of the fork.
