@Oranje Any reason for the move I can help address? If not, enjoy!

@mngrif Plenty of fans who give a fuck that isnt an option for. Some of us live in other countries that release it late or not at all, other people, like me may have simply been in the hospital, sick, out in a remote part of the world. Tons of reasons a person might not get to watch a movie until weeks or months later.
Regardless I dont think it is polite not to ruin movies just for fans. As a general rule even if the movie isnt a top priority for someone, dont ruin it for them. So whena nd if they get to watch it they enjoy it.
I wouldnt even ruin the ending to a 30 year old movie just so people who never saw it can enjoy it if they ever get the chance.
Just saw End game.I liked it but had a a lot of issues with it too. For starters there were about half a dozen plot holes in it. Things didnt make sense given the past movies and as such it made the whole thing harder to watch.
Also about half a dozen asshole americans already spoiled the ending for me. Seems the general rule in america is after about a week or two spoilers are free game. Hell at least my european friends who watched the movie had some respect.
Sorry for the rant but I wanted to watch the movie all through my surgery and was a pretty dick move just how many americans thought it was ok to spoil the ending.
@wmarshall Let me know if you want me to delete this thread, again sorry for the mistake
#QOTO server update.
You may have noticed a short dwn time today. We basically finished our migration to the next larger server. The backup to the new store for backups is almost done too. Version will be bumped soon once that is done.
@sozialwelten The server will store and retain the posts from other servers both for the ability to search them and for cacheing purposes.
Many servers purge old posts, #QOTO does not (thus the large size) so we can ensure very fast performance and good search capabilities on old posts.
@wmarshall Oh sorry its 1am here, just got home and I misread it. I did delete the content from the timeline, i will silence them for the future so it doesnt happen again. Thanks for reporting!
@Gargron I mean you could have just given users the option when the migrate. you that way you dont have a bug and a feature but just a feature. Just saying.
@wmarshall hey just an FYI. Had to delete the dick pic you posted. Nudity is fine but it **must** be marked sensative and a CW saying NSFW in it, per our ToS. In the future do this and your welcome to post nudity if you wish.
#QOTO server update.
We are upgrading to a larger server today. Epect some short downtime. After which we should be done the backup cycle in a few days and we will upgrade server versions.
@ZacharyHerold link is broken...

Server Update #QOTO:
you all may have notied we didnt upgrade the server as scheduled. I'd like to explain why.
So basically right now I pay around $600 a month in storage fees due to the solution I picked (high redundancy) and our desire to retain and index the full fediverse. With that said I wanted to cut back costs without changing the redundancy of the backups or server speed.
As such I am migrating the server over to a new backend. Basically moving the backups to another provider and changing the way we store some stuff on AWS. We are also upgrading to the next higher tier of computers. So despite increased performance costs will be cut significantly.
The migration takes a few days as we have several terabytes of data. We felt it best to finish this migration prior to the upgrade going through. So in a few days when the upgrade finishes we will also bump the server version at that time.
@wmarshall I'm sorry they treated you that way. I dont know the whole story but if i they were on qoto I would have asked they too act respectfully.
Since this is across the fediverse though I can only speak about our own members.
I do appreciate your understanding in raising above and showing respect and decency to others even if we feel they may not deserve it. I'd like us to lead by example, there is a lot of hate going around and I dont want us to add fuel to that flame. I'd rather us take the road of compassion and lead the way in that regard.
