MusicBrainz really slow right now, or just me?

it seems kind of slow for me

MusicBrainz is hardly working

billions must go outside

Artist pages taking up to a minute to load for me, and now got a sleepy server error

Can't add ISRCs

It won't log me in.

Why have the servers forsaken us?

yeah it's practically crawling for me, too

yup, same here

finna go outside

it broke

thefancon#0: there is a ticket for that, you can vote and comment here: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-3929

MBS-3929: Allow saving progress of an add release edit without submitting it

if a digital release is on streaming everywhere except china, are we allowed to set the release country to XW, or is this (still) wrong? i remember there was some discussion about changing this rule

i recall doing XW in the past for releases that are missing one country before (although i don't recall which specific ones...)

i also recall some discussion as well, but i don't remember where, forum maybe?

@ivy: This is a bit of a matter of judgement, there is no clear rule. For countries like China that heavily control access to their markets or have censorship that entirely prevents certain releases from appearing, XW is reasonably easy to justify though

@srxl: yeah we had a super long and annoying thread in the forums

but without reaching any direct result :/

elomatreb: but I've seen some people saying that sometimes importers might be wrong regarding availability in China

yeah

is there no way to link directly to an archive.org image for the cover art?

i have to download it from there, upload it to MBDB, then that gets transferred to archive.org?
