This service outage was caused by a hardware error. The situation was complicated by the fact that it happened on a long weekend when several members of our tech team were unavailable. <br/><br/>The specific technical problem has been resolved, and a more long-term solution to the issue is currently being pursued. <br/><br/>Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. 2026-05-19T15:12:35Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstlthagl0kmg07eu08nsyve5p5mk96sfj4dql37mmw786rsk545mgzyzvhzz4z7kn4lycgay7ftw36tjn34s5fnrpc07pn4ndfjh8m7pz6jtw0pvf After a long and Kafkaesque ordeal to set up a new bank account, we&#39;re happy to announce that we&#39;re once again in a position to accept donations!<br/><br/><a href="https://kolektiva.info/donate/">https://kolektiva.info/donate/</a><br/><br/>A huge thanks to everyone who has reached out to ask how they could financially support us over the past year or so. <br/><br/>Thankfully, we had a bit of a nest egg that the project was able to survive off during that time. But we are definitely in need of regular financial support to help keep the project going, and to realize our future goals. So if you are in a position to do so, please consider signing up as a monthly sustainer, support independent anarchist infrastructure, and help grow Kolektiva. 2026-02-17T16:53:16Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsd9qfdjgvn74qsuc7zczmsrfxutnf8x87vdvtlmplc0mwtvkn9y7qzyzvhzz4z7kn4lycgay7ftw36tjn34s5fnrpc07pn4ndfjh8m7pz6jh7j2s6 Users may have noticed that our servers were down temporarily this morning. Our tech team is still investigating, but for now it appears to have been a localized network outage, and not related to our servers specifically. We will update if we learn anything different. 2025-09-30T17:03:03Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgfudlz9qlmky0cmelxcrqe6cwqa9h4wdy28wpjadsh09jqfa05qczyzvhzz4z7kn4lycgay7ftw36tjn34s5fnrpc07pn4ndfjh8m7pz6j2xqpck In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspsz6e49fa05h2653l70zdneyqne5vf2h9qdmkm7eep0hgghhlsac9r9sk7'>nevent1q…9sk7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>kolektiva currently doesn&#39;t enable expanded searching functionalities since a lot of people here didn&#39;t want their posts to be more searchable then what they currently are, and want their stuff to stay in their network / community on the server.<br/><br/>That being said, even if we do want to enable that, there would be some discussions to have collectively and also some work to do on our infra before getting there. 2024-10-09T01:19:14Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszvzxtzry55dp3zx8szqd2crvfd68msaw96mgrl7kwue22udzq5uszyzvhzz4z7kn4lycgay7ftw36tjn34s5fnrpc07pn4ndfjh8m7pz6j6ucdaj 📣 MASTODON UPDATE 📣 <br/><br/>We&#39;re going to do the migration to mastodon 4.3.0.<br/><br/>Normally, there should not be any issue, let&#39;s hope that contrary to the last time there won&#39;t be any issue. 2024-10-09T00:32:33Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyw5lsxg49hpv92r409x59yexad22v63qgelmrl23qr2f9pcj28gqzyzvhzz4z7kn4lycgay7ftw36tjn34s5fnrpc07pn4ndfjh8m7pz6j8qlwkm 🚨 Kolektiva.social SECURITY ALERT 🚨 <br/><br/>This is an alert for Kolektiva.social users. Please read this post in its entirety!<br/><br/>In mid-May 2023, the home of one of Kolektiva.social&#39;s admins was raided, and all their electronics were seized by the FBI. The raid was part of an investigation into a local protest. Kolektiva was neither a subject nor target of this investigation. Today, that admin was charged in relation to their alleged participation in this protest.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, at the time of the raid, our admin was troubleshooting an issue and working with a backup copy of the Kolektiva.social database. This backup, dated from the first week of May 2023, was in an *unencrypted* state when the raid occurred and it was seized, along with everything else.<br/><br/>The database is the heart of a Mastodon server. A database copy such as the one seized may include any of the following user data, in this case up to date as of early May 2023:<br/> <br/>- User account information like the e-mail address associated with your account, your followers and follows, etc.<br/>- All your posts: public, unlisted, followers-only, *and direct (&#34;DMs&#34;)*.<br/>- Possibly IP addresses associated with your account - IP addresses on Kolektiva.social are logged for 3 days and then deleted, so IP addresses from any logins in the 3 days prior to the database backup date would be included. <br/>- A hashed (&#34;encrypted&#34;) version of your password.<br/><br/>🚨 👉 As a precaution we highly recommend that all users on Kolektiva.social *change their password immediately* to a new, unique, and strong password.<br/><br/>We sincerely apologize to all our users and regret this breach. In hindsight, it was obviously a mistake to leave a copy of the database in an unencrypted state. Unfortunately, what would otherwise have been a small mistake happened to coincide with a raid, due to bad luck and spectacularly bad timing.<br/><br/>We understand that our users and other people on the Fediverse will have a lot of questions. We will try to answer them as best we can, but please be patient and bear in mind that we may be overwhelmed with messages, and may be delayed in responding or unable to provide answers to certain questions for legal or technical reasons. As a security culture reminder, it can be extremely harmful to the individuals charged and to our community to openly speculate on the Internet about alleged criminal activity or about what law enforcement may be able to do with seized data. Our present awareness is that the seized Kolektiva data is unrelated to the federal investigation and prosecution and we are exploring legal avenues to have the seized data returned and copies destroyed. <br/><br/>Thank you for your understanding and solidarity :black_sparkling_heart: <br/><br/>👇 Please see our replies to this post for additional information (1/?) 👇 2023-07-01T04:52:07Z
