We have updated Plus St’s TOS, effective today. You can find relevant information here:

• Terms of Service: https://plus.st/tos

If you are a user of Plus St’s XMPP server, we are very sorry to bring the unfortunate news that it has been shut down.

Plus St has been hosting XMPP since the very beginning, but recently the XMPP server has been malfunctioning and due to many issues that cannot be fixed we have decided to shut it down rather can keep a broken XMPP instance running.

While we do have plans on bringing back an XMPP server implementation at some point, it will not happen for a while. Thank you for reading and apologies for any inconveniences this will cause.

We have just updated Plus St’s Terms of Service, effective on all of its services today. You can read up on the new terms of service here:

Plus St’s fediblock is currently being revised and reasons are being redone, this is to reflect at the new TOS that has been implemented during Plus St’s redesign which located at plus.st/tos.

The format for the block reasons will change, what used to be ‘Rule #(num): (reason)” will now be this:

#(tos-num): (shortened-tos-num-description)

Pay attention at plma.plus.st/about to see this change in action!

We now have an uptime status page for Plus St's services! You can access the page here at status.plus.st

The new revamped website has just left beta and is now the new official look for Plus St! 🎉 🥳 You can view the new and improved website over at plus.st!

We expect there to be a little more to be ironed, so some changes may still take place here and there, but for the most part this will be the website design going forward! If you see any issues, please help us at git.plus.st/plus-st/www.

With this website update, the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy have changed, so please read up on them here:
