Losing SS has been a major blow for me, and without the support of this community I cannot afford to continue covering the server costs. I am grateful for any amount of monthly donation that could be spared.

Clarification on the requirement to mark NSFW media uploads as sensitive content.
Your account may have all its posts automatically marked as sensitive if you do not consistently apply the warning to NSFW content. Since there is no ability to apply sensitive content warnings to profile pictures and header images, NSFW pfp and banners will be deleted as they are discovered.

他のMastodonサーバー管理者の協力により、一部のデータは回復することができましたが、欠損データのほとんどは回復不能であることが判明しました。特にフォロワー数の少ないユーザーへの影響が大きいだろうと思われます。
サービス開始から8年間、baraagは起こり得る最も厳しい課題のほとんどを経験してきました。支援型プラットフォームからの資金提供が禁止されたり、ホスティング事業者によってサービス中断に追い込まれたり、ドメイン登録業者にbaraag.netの所有権を奪われたり、DNSやCDNプロバイダとの契約解消を迎えたり……そして今回の件も。
それら全てを耐え抜いてきました。これからもbaraagの存続の為に可能な限り努力を続けます。この逆境にもかかわらず、コミュニティを支え続けてくださる皆様に心から感謝申し上げます。

2025年2月19日午後10時40分ごろ（世界標準時）、当サイトの提携先が当社におけるメディアストレージサービスの提供を終了したことにより、baraagが一時的に利用不能になりました。
約10日間の長い戦いを経て、baraagはようやく新しいサービスプロバイダと提携し、復旧しました。これには複数の方々のご支援がありました（心当たりのある方もいらっしゃるでしょう、心より感謝いたします）。
しかし、一点良くないニュースを告げなければなりません。復旧作業中に明らかになったのは、オンラインアーティストコミュニティにとって最悪の事態がbaraagに発生したということです——我々が災害復旧用として導入していた自動バックアップシステムが予想通り動作していないことが復旧時に初めて判明したのです。そのため、2024年8月以来baraagにアップロードされたほとんどのメディアデータが永久に失われてしまいました。

Each time I try and persevere. I will always fight to keep baraag alive for as long as I can still find a way to do it. Thank you to everyone that continues to support this community despite this setback.

In the nearly 8 years of our existence, baraag has now experienced almost every point of failure conceivable. We have been banned from being funded by popular patronage platforms. We have had a server host provider suspend their service with us. We have had a registrar seize our baraag.net domain name. We have lost our DNS service provider and CDN service provider. Our object storage service provider for media was terminated. And finally, our automated backup system failed.

We were able to restore a fraction of the lost media thanks to the assistance of another Mastodon server admin who kindly provided a partial cache of baraag's data since August 2024. But while we tried to recover what we could, we regret to inform our users that there are still significant gaps in the affected time period that will be missing forever. We suspect that baraag users with very few followers will be the most affected by data loss.

However, I must admit to some terrible news. During the recovery process, we discovered that the worst thing that could happen to an online artist community has happened to baraag: the automated backup system we had for disaster recovery has not been functioning as we expected for some time, and its issues remained un-diagnosed until this past week. Thus, we have permanently lost a significant amount of media uploaded to baraag since August 2024.

On February 19th 2025 at approximately 10:40pm UTC, baraag went offline after an affiliate of the site decided to terminate their media storage services with us.
After 10 long days, baraag is finally back online with new service providers. This would not have been possible without the help of several people (if you’re reading this then you know who you are and forever have my gratitude).

it is almost impossible to establish any direct communication with the admin of misskey.io
I am still frustrated that they ban baraag users for not censoring their art, with some of them even going out of their way to comply to lift the block.
