Friendly reminder that the AllThingsTech.social Mastodon instance will be closing down permanently in just a few days.
If you are still a user on this instance you will need to migrate to a new instance ASAP! Once the instance shuts down, there won't be any way to move your account, get account backups or anything similar!
We apologize about any inconveniences this might cause.
If you have any questions, please reach out to @cliffwade or @beardedtechguy

Thread 1 of 6🧵 ...
It is with a very heavy heart that and I are having to make this announcement, however, it's something that needs to be done. Unfortunately we are going to need to shut down AllThingsTech.social, the Mastodon instance and the blog.
There are several reasons for this, but the biggest reason is the fact that we simply don't have the funds to continue paying the server fees associated with it any longer. (continued...)

Due to this, we realize users are going to need to find a new home on the Fediverse and we want to give you as much notice as possible. While it's not as long as we'd hope, the last day that the Mastodon instance will function is February 7th, 2025. On February 8th, 2025, the AllThingsTech.social Mastodon instance will officially close down. (continued...)

This means that everyone needs to either migrate to a new instance and/or download their data content to find a new home at a later date. If you need any help moving to another instance, please let us know as we'd be happy to help in any way we possibly can.
For those of you who have content on the AllThingsTech.social blog, you'll have until February 28th to download your posts from the WordPress if you wish to put them somewhere else. (continued...)

With regards to the AllThingsTech Discord server, that will remain functional as we have a great little community there and we'd love to keep that as a place for all of us to keep in contact and continue having the great conversations that we have currently. We might restructure it a bit, but we'd love for all of you to remain a member of the Discord if you desire. (continued...)

Hey ATT Community,
Cliff and I have decided to reduce the media cache retention from 200 days to 60. Our resources are nearing capacity. So to help with the DB size, we are reducing it.
Unfortunately without much support, we are unable to ramp up the server at this time. Of course, we don't expect any support, just telling like it is and wanting to the community to know of the change.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to @beardedtechguy or @cliffwade.
Thanks Kyle.

As you can tell, #AllThingsTech is back up and running after a bit longer of a maintenance period than we initially expected.
Unfortunately the migration didn't go as planned, so we brought the instance back up and are still hosted at Masto.host at this time.
We plan to give the migration another try in the coming days/weeks and hopefully be successful and move the instance to being fully self-hosted!
