huh, that's odd. I don't see that instance on the block list (https://meta.chaos.social/federation) so it seems to indeed be the account. Would you like me to ask a moderator about it?

no posts there either, my Mastodon client says? Not sure if that's an issue on my side or if the old accounts were cleaned out?

2/2
Andy Weir mentioned in an interview to never tell anyone the story. People must only be able to get it by reading, and they can only read when you're finished, and so you stay motivated to get that done. (You'd still revise based on feedback, but now there's a v1.0). I have yet to try it but it resonated strongly with past experiences
One should probably weigh this against discovering nobody likes the premise after you're all done

got me curious, but it seems your blog is currently only an introduction and meta post? Is there an older blog out there?
As someone who often loses interest in projects before properly finishing them, I can recommend first making the thing and only then writing about it, like first making one or two posts that are in line with what you expect to be writing about, then set up the site as the showcase around the content and invite people to it

I'm subscribed to a few via blogtrottr that converts rss feeds to emails arriving in my inbox, but I don't feel like I come across many active bloggers, perhaps because nowadays we have social media doing the promoting of interesting content more than having to curate a set of people that *usually* write about interesting things?

did someone already make email integration for it? Did they manage to solve the UI complexities in a way PGP hasn't in 30 years?
I liked it better when there was one reliable standard people were either on or not, now there's an extra option and extra thing to support :/

are they flooding the pipe simply with gigabits / packets per second, or are requests coming through from too many IP addresses which causes too high a cpu load in request processing?
It sounds like the latter, in which case I don't understand why not block the entire autonomous system temporarily (while this is figured out)
