Mastodon
We initially started using some popular social networking services because we didn't want to preach only to the choir, but we've long abandoned our angry bird microblogging account and others. We simply never found any engagement that would benefit the community on there, so we lost interest in it.
However, we joined Mastodon.nl about a year ago just to participate in some of the conversations we were seeing. Not for the sake of marketing, we just want to be more present in the various communities we love, be it privacy, open-source software, or political issues regarding the digital world that would impact the security of our platform.
We share some tips and tricks and even highlight the occasional niche bug in some software for our fellow Nextcloud administrators.
For issues with our platform, reach out using the contacts form.
For information on disruptions or significant issues with the code of the various parts of our services, you can subscribe to our monitoring page.
To learn what we're up to and the occasional privacy meme and conversation, feel free to follow us on Mastodon.
We highly recommend following us on Mastodon so you don't miss out on gems like our latest The Good Cloud Wrapped, in which we spoof Spotify's wrapped marketing gimmick to trigger folk to ask themselves "why" when presented with such detailed data about their listening habits.

Network changes coming up. IP addresses will change on June 27th 2024
We are making some changes to our infrastructure, which leads to new IP addresses necessary to connect to us. Most users will not be affected by this change.
If you only use our default URL (something.thegood.cloud) to connect to your environment, this change has no impact on you. However, if you are using an own domain name URL (e.g. cloud.something.com) to connect to your environment, or use IP Filtering you need to act.
If you are using an own domain, you must have set a DNS record to point it at our network. Please change the IP address of that record to the new IP Address before before June 27th 2024.
We will send out emails to all Consumer and Business clients a.s.a.p. with the new IP Addresses.
If you require any help or guidance in this regard, please reach out to help@thegoodcloud.nl
