(& for those wondering: Mozilla VPN was the culprit - it’s ironically the one that i use when i want to *not* trigger spam flags in basically every other app/site)

made the amateur mistake of trying to reinstall signal while using a VPN that signal thinks is spam & got slapped with a 5-day lockout, so if you’ve messaged me on there this week I haven’t received it!

should have access back tomorrow 🙃

thank you thank you thank you for the work you’re doing 👏

I know I say this all the time but for the love of god, the FSC is one of the few groups ACTUALLY fighting for our right to remain on the internet & they deserve so much more donation $$ than they actually get

these consults are for SWers only, thanks for asking though!

welcome to the app babe!!

screaming at this 💀

One thing we should all be conscious of here on Bluesky is that trans people were a key part of keeping this site alive when everyone else was afraid to lose clout. They are a big reason we have an alternative to Elon.

THIS 💯

DNS changes can take a while to show up, even up to a couple days. sometimes you un-fuck your settings but your laptop will still see a broken site, yet your phone will load it just fine. this is normal, don’t panic

*do not* edit or delete anything else in your DNS settings, even if you see random shit in there that you don’t recognize or understand.

if you add a bluesky entry and your site goes down, ONLY delete the bluesky part that you just added, then *don’t touch anything else for 24h*

READ BEFORE YOU SET YOUR SITE AS YOUR HANDLE ✌️

if you try to change your DNS settings and you mess it up, it can take down your site + email too

be careful & precise when adding the bsky record: make a copy of your current settings beforehand, exclude any trailing spaces, triple check for typos

Despite a massive head start, BlueSky has now overtaken Threads in the US 👇

RIGHT!??

your handle will be fine, it's your domain that can break

DNS settings are easy to mess up, and if you mess them up, it takes down your site and it's difficult to fix unless you're fluent in that weird niche subject

if you can’t tell me what an MX record does, you don’t have the knowledge to fix your DNS settings when you accidentally blow them up aksjdjdndm

oh my god please stop trying to set your domains as your handle, I can’t keep fixing everyone’s DNS settings when your sites go down 😭

sent my req in this morning, let’s goooo 🫡

Hey y’all

amazing, happy to hear this. thank you!

on a totally unrelated note uh my site is back up 🙃

this is a case of "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" - yes, it's technically a less secure solution, but it's the solution that works for a usually not-very-tech-savvy population that's already overwhelmed by technological marginalization & frequently needs to share access with third parties
