Thanks to @nightpool for this #mastoadmin tip:
When witches.town goes down in the next few days, you may notice Mastodon running more slowly, as Sidekiq workers try to contact it and have to wait for the request to time out before they can move on to the next job.
To handle this, AFTER w.t goes down, log into your server on the back end, run `redis-cli`, and enter:
sadd unavailable_inboxes https://witches.town/inbox
This tells Mastodon not to bother trying to talk to witches.town.
@noelle (but this is fine! probably good to have the information out there anyway)
@noelle also remember you have to include the https! mastodon cuts that out when viewing the url
@noelle @nightpool yes, it's very sadd 😿
@noelle @nightpool ah thank gosh! thank you.
@noelle @nightpool Does suspending the instance from the moderation panel accomplish the same thing?
Please note that you DO have to include the https:// in the URL, which Mastodon eats so it's not apparent.
@noelle Thank you. (My kingdom for a way to mark text as code / preformatted in the web compose box.)

@noelle (i haven't made a toot about this yet because i dont know if we're gonna try to rush a patch release with the short circuiting stuff)
