Furiously slapping F5 the entire 8 hours
New surge of Lemmygrad users incoming
lemmygrad must protect its beatiful garden from the jungle that is hexbear
Stocking up on supplies to prepare for the hexbear downtime. Go to the grocery store to find it packed with people who know they must do the same. A chaotic jungle as everyone fights for every scrap to prepare for an extended time with no posts.
Biden's America.

We are doing a long postponed upgrade to pictrs as well, which is what takes up the majority of the downtime.
nice, was going to ask when we upgrade to 0.19.5 just a day ago and it seems someone heard.. me... in my head.... hmm. you guys sure you're not the feds?
they're in our thoughts
Closing down hexbear for a scheduled downtime isn't okay
I totally realize most people are going to agree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the website for a scheduled maintenance wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this website is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support with warning is not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love pop girlies and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this website is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this website closed for the sake of upgrades. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
Don't worry guys, I found an interim lemmy instance we can use
Oh, sure, go down right when my lunch break starts 🙄
another amerikkkan lunch break RUINED due to WOKE server updates
I swear to God, all y'all in the comments, I'm the type of autistic that can't understand sarcasm and I'm being dragged over coals right now.
Oof I didn't know the closing the site down post was originally from you.
You want me to be at work, focusing on work. How could you do this?

classic banger
DAMMIT! FUCK! I'm keeping my post up anyway
we are legion
This is a conspiracy to slow down and prevent the trans megathread from taking over the whole site.
The admins have been bought out by the DNC and this is a calculated manoeuvre to limit the negative effects that this site is having on Joe Biden's chances at reelection because the disproportionate effect this site's users have on the average Amerikkkan voter has grown so much that it cannot be ignored any longer as it's directly impacting polling numbers.
Be aware that we will likely see a new power user added to the admin team, probably going by a username like Maxwellhill. They will be a DNC plant that will gradually shift this site into being a limited hangout designed to achieve the overall objectives of the DNC.
Wrong. we need the best possible software updates to handle the June 27th debate post.
who the fuck is scraeming "log off" at my house, show yourself coward
Chuckling to myself, imagining the admins unplugging the servers and gingerly placing them unattended on some grass outside for 8 hours before taking them back and plugging them in again.
And somehow they just work better afterwards
That's adorable, I should do that with my computers

The website has been working pretty hard and can use a nice vacation! Good on Hexbear for having some self-care!

Lemmygrad is a garden, hexbear is a jungle. We cant have our beautiful garden be overwhelmed with the jungle.
