+    <h1>Hello there!</h1>
+
+    <p>
+      If you're seeing this, then our main VPS has gone down for upgrades. We
+      don't know how long this will take, but we hope it won't be too long.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      That being said, some of our services will still be up during the upgrade.
+      Those services are:
+    </p>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li>
+        Our Matrix server (including our
+        <a href="https://element.mint.lgbt">Element</a> client)
+      </li>
+
+      <li>Our <a href="/xmpp">XMPP server</a></li>
+
+      <li>Our <a href="https://breeze.mint.lgbt">BreezeWiki</a> instance</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p>
+      We hope that this won't take too long. If something happens, we'll update
+      this page, and Luna will post about it on her
+      <a href="https://woem.men/@luna">fedi account</a>.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>Thank you,<br /><em>The mint.lgbt Team</em></p>
