I have a new post drafted in write.as, and when I hit Publish, I get the error message, “Failed to post. Please try again.” I’ve reloaded my browser several times and tried multiple times to publish the post, but it still won’t go through. I’ve also tried publishing in two different browsers, both of which show the same error. Please help.

Write.as has under maintenance for a major issue and posting was unavailable. More details here but I’m still experiencing issues with the platform:

> **[Write.as (@write\_as@writing.exchange)](https://writing.exchange/@write_as/117344982540869328)**

> We're going to take most of our Write.as application down for 12-24 hours due to a security incident. We are doing this out of an abundance of caution for our users while we work to mitigate the issue.

> Really, really sorry for the inconvenience...
