So it turns out .cat is only for Catalonia. I didn’t know this, just thought it was a neat hostname. So… they finally caught me not being Catalan, and they’re taking my domain away.

It’s sad. I’m not really sure what I plan to do, but in about a week, rss.ponder.cat will be no more. Sorry gamers. No promises but one possibility would be to set up a replacement instance, and just send everyone a DM with links to be able to get their subscriptions via the new instance instead.

People are going to complain at me about having to block the new bots, too. Hooray! Well, life goes on.

Running an instance might be something I'm interested in. An RSS aggregator instance might be low maintenance enough for me. One thing I'd probably do is make the RSS posts themselves locked to encourage cross posting instead of having conversations in the RSS thread. Most likely not something I can do right now, though.

Could have the bot drop a single comment with links to the various cross posts
