they would have flattened all of Ukraine and done the genocide you all accuse them of?
Lmao, you actually believe the Russian military is capable of that? They couldn't take Kyiv even before they had to started reusing WW2 equipment.
OP is an infamous ban evader, they just spam post a bunch of articles from (mostly, but not exclusively) the Guardian, so I doubt this is OP's agenda. The more concerning thing is the media, the BBC news homepage had 2 stories about this (and there were 3 this morning).

Just use the info pages, the site is just a reskinning of those. C-h i and go from there.

I remember when people tried to be believable. If there was any doubt about you being a transphobe, your comments here have thoroughly assuaged those doubts. YDM.
who the people proposing these policies
Tories.
why they’re so opposed to fun, nightlife, and supporting long-standing traditions
Because they're Tories.
On another note, do the server has a profile somewhere like mastodon or something we could check in case it goes down in future.
Someone did actually reach out to my personal Mastodon account to ask what was happening.
Like florge said, there is a Matrix space that mostly serves this function, but that does require you to have a Matrix account so isn't the best for public notices. It'd be nice to have a page (eg status.feddit.uk) where I could put messages about what's happening. I'll need to look to see if something like that exists.
I did and it was surprisingly pretty good.
There's a setting in Lemmy that only let's logged in users make API requests. I'm going to activate that over night for now.

We're back!

Sorry about the long downtime everyone. What happened is sometime around 20:00 yesterday the instance went down. I wouldn't be able to ssh into the server until the morning, so I tried restarting the server through our hosting's web interface, but this didn't work.
When I got home I found the reason Lemmy wasn't working was because the database had suffered some corruption. Thankfully, the only lost data was 3 posts, but some data got duplicated in random tables that shouldn't be and this wasn't the easiest thing to track down.
Why did the server go down in the first place?
I don't actually know the real reason, what I suspect happened is that the frontend got taken down by the rampant scraping we've been subject to. To put it into prospective, just look at the jump in the size of our web logs:
These are compressed plain text, like it's unreal.
But back to the server, I think when I restarted the server to get everything back up, docker killed the database before it had shutdown properly hence the corruption.
Anyway, it's sorted now. It's going to be a bit quiet until we've caught up with the activities we've missed, so enjoy the quiet while you can.
Admin that had access to the server went AWOL in October and now the server has died.
Too bad it's made by someone who promotes 'great replacement' theory and stands with fascists.

What a myopic view on warfare, "big country big, eat smaller country", because a smaller country has never repelled an industrially superior foe before. I honestly don't know how you can look at the current situation and think Russia is doing well. Why aren't they using that industrial capacity to build enough air defence to stop the drone attacks on their oil refineries? They've been happening for a year now, it should be easy for Russia and it's well managed, large indusial capacity, right?
