@ZacBelado I believe in having a holiday be a holiday. Just because maintaining a U.S.-based Mastodon instance (more in the US than anywhere btw) is not a "real job", doesn't mean it isn't an interruption to festivities with that two-day warning.
It would be a kindness to check the national holiday chart of the top 5 countries where servers are operated, just saying.
@shanie @ZacBelado It’s an update for a major security flaw. I prefer to get it as soon as it has been tested properly, regardless of other people’s holiday plans.
I don’t want to wait to be hacked because someone has to get drunk and can’t be bothered.
Updating a mastodon instance of moderate size is quite easy and updating a small instance in docker is just a ridiculously simple and quick task. Just set away time for an extended bathroom break with a tablet.
