Heads up, everyone: approximately 24 hours ago, our episode discussion bot @[email protected] stopped posting new discussion threads. Please be aware of the outage and consider posting manual discussion threads in the meantime until the situation is resolved.

The root cause of the outage is due to lemmy.ml defederating from ani.social (source), which of course hosts @[email protected]. Because [email protected] is hosted on lemmy.ml, this defederation situation prevents our bot from posting anything new to the community.

At present moment, there has been no official statement as to why this action was taken. It is my belief, however, that the decision was made without due consideration and should be reversed. I humbly call upon @[email protected] to please take a second look at the content of ani.social and their content policy because I believe that the high standard they uphold as server operators is self-evident.

Thank you everyone for your time and I apologize for the inconvenience.

    This is clearly causing pretty fundamental problems to infrastructure this community’s reliant on. Cross-promotion would be fine, imo. We just need to know what the users want of the community.
