So it turns out .cat is only for Catalonia. I didn’t know this, just thought it was a neat hostname. So… they finally caught me not being Catalan, and they’re taking my domain away.
It’s sad. I’m not really sure what I plan to do, but in about a week, rss.ponder.cat will be no more. Sorry gamers. No promises but one possibility would be to set up a replacement instance, and just send everyone a DM with links to be able to get their subscriptions via the new instance instead.
People are going to complain at me about having to block the new bots, too. Hooray! Well, life goes on.
Thank you! Yeah, I’ll figure something out. I might also just get a normal account on someone else’s server like a normal person. My only real concern is preserving the RSS stuff, I feel like it’s a good thing.
I’ve been meaning to add a RSS-to-community-post feature to PieFed for a while. The existence of your instance was the only thing stopping me, really.
