We have identified the issue, and response times are back to acceptable levels.

We're working through the backlog of activity that we missed on the fediverse and that work is progressing in a positive direction. It may take a few hours for us to catch up.

We're finally completely off the cloud. We will be closing this maintenance window at this time.

Mastodon Canada will be taking a full and complete downtime to migrate our 450 GB database from the cloud to our servers.

We're reserving four hours for this work; we don't expect to use the entire time. Updates will be provided here as they become available.
