Hey meow folks! We're going to be migrating to the glitch-soc codebase, so we'll be putting meow.social on maintenance tomorrow, within the next 24 hours.
The migration has been tested and seems to be compatible with our database, but we're going to be doing some backups so we need to turn everything off to be safe.
Expected 4 hours of downtime. https://status.meow.social/

Greetings folks, we have just learned that our platform has been banned in Turkey, for unknown reasons.
As meow.social is a free, open and diverse community platform, we are sad to learn that freedom of expression and fundamental rights are once again under attack.
You can still access meow.social using a VPN. Our server is in France.

⚠️ Our hosting provider OVH is experiencing DNS management problems.
You may find meow.social inaccessible at times.
A DNS probe at Google has reported problems resolving the meow.social domain.
We hope this situation will be temporary. This problem won't affect everyone. For most people, it won't be a problem.

Do you feel like the default interface not all that great, be it in basic or advanced mode, but don't wanna install a desktop app or go to a third party client?
Meow now has set up elk as an alternative interface!
Not only that, but elk can let you have multiple accounts logged in at once if you want!
You can try it out via https://elk.meow.social/

For your information, we're replacing a personal server: Crocodile is making way for kobold.
⚠️ The mail server used by meow.social will be disrupted for a few hours, while the new mail server is moved and brought back into service.
We can be reached directly on meow.social during mail server maintenance.

DNS propagation is complete and Kobold is now fully operational. Deliverability has been confirmed and there should no longer be any SPF-related problems, and we're back to being fully contactable via our contact form: https://tiwy57.me/page/meow.html
In future, we will be transferring all meow.social emails to a server hosted on the platform, as well as our contact form and an FAQ area. This should be released shortly (as soon as the tech admin has a bit of time to devote to it). We promise.
Thanks for understanding, and happy meowing!

We have a process for sending notifications that takes a long time. So we'll be lagging behind the rest of the network for a while.
Please be patient.

ℹ️ We are planning maintenance on the servers in order to carry out a system update on all the servers.
This should cause an interruption of approximately 15 minutes.
Maintenance will be performed in 1 hour and 30 minutes (3pm Paris Time).

ℹ️ There has been two database crashes in the past two hours, but we didn't experience any downtime or data loss (maybe a few 500 errors, as there was a network switch between the old node and the new one).
The faulty nodes were replaced automatically and the cluster migrated in real time to a new hypervisor.
Everything restarted ALL by itself. And the database is fine. And you saw nothing.

⚠️ Major outage : emails sending.
Kobold was used to send out massive spam following the compromise of a mail account on the mail server used by meow.social.
As a result, the e-mail server was blacklisted.
The receipt of e-mails from meow.social may be disrupted for approximately one month.
Measures have of course been taken to prevent this from happening again.
We will try to de-blacklist the IP with the various ISPs.
Thank you for your understanding.

ℹ️ Problem receiving emails from meow.social
✉️ Concerns: all addresses for Microsoft accounts (hotmail, live, etc).
We're aware of the problem, but unfortunately it seems to be the result of a widespread block, and the unblocking measures we've initiated aren't working.
We are considering changing the IP of the mail server, with no guarantee of success.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
