Hi #mastoAdmins

I'm trying to help a friend out with his Mastodon instance. An upgrade went badly wrong and mastodon would not restart.

We've rebuilt the server using backups and the server is up and running. It is federating. However no one can login.

If I enable debugging log i get the following for a log attempt in the system logs

Errno::ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused - connect(2) for 127.0.0.1:389):

“A key indicator that Trump’s ICE camps fit the definition(of concentration camps) is the lawless way the administration is filling them. “You have masked secret police that don’t identify themselves on the streets, kidnapping people,” she described, “and taking them quickly from a local detention to a transit camp — so attorneys can’t find them to give them legal rights.”

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

‘“In all my years as an immigration attorney, I have never seen a client simply vanish in the middle of their case with no explanation,” Shepard said. “When the government detains and transfers people in secrecy, without transparency or access to the courts, it tears at the basic protections a democracy is supposed to guarantee.”’
