Hey folks, just wanted to explain why I've been quiet here:

- I feel behind on posting about moderation actions, which became one of those "looking at it gives you stress because you're already behind" kind of things and snowballed. Moderation _has_ been happening, like always, but the time to post about it just hasn't been there. I intend to move to easier tracking so I can share this data with less manual load (hopefully)

Last 30 days moderation report:

5 remote accounts reported for Spam (all suspended)
2 remote accounts reported for server rule violations (one suspended, one force sensitive)
1 remote account reported for aggressive replies (limited)
1 remote account reported for arguing for ICE shooting of civilians (suspended)
1 remote account reported for legal violations (suspended)
1 local account reported by mistake (no action)
1 local account reported for server rules (warning)

Hey folks, our we've yet again exhausted our database storage (which is separate from media storage), and is the main driver of our costs. Our costs have already risen above donation levels, but if this continues things may become unsustainable.

You can help by (either or both):
- Donating to help cover our hosting costs at https://ko-fi.com/dicecamp
- Setting auto-deletion for your old posts at https://dice.camp/statuses_cleanup

Okay, I finally had some time today to do something I've been meaning to do: move moderation updates to a rolling basis.

You can now view up-to-date moderation logs from today forward at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UcPVpXCYO0yDw2YNz2YNlrFfyzQ0YKAjFacM7C1ah6g/edit?usp=sharing

I'll repost this regularly along with some summary insights from it.

I also wanted to share the behind the scenes activities of this instance:

Donations flow to PayPal
Instance hosting is auto-paid from PayPal
Moderation reports come to my inbox, where I deal with them as often as I can—often daily, sometimes weekly or so.
Hosting auto-updates us to stable versions

And that's it! There's not too much to worry about maintenance-wise unless our hosting company goes out of business or hosting costs significantly outpace donations.
