Describe the solution you'd like.
Pitch Jerboa should have an opt-in feature for servers that lets them be temporarily taken down remotely for their own safety by the Jerboa non-profit in case of an extreme security vulnerability requiring an update
Motivation This would protect the servers of those who opt-in along with the users on that server. As it is an opt-in, no one will be left annoyed. All users who join the server alongside the owner would be aware of a potential takedown at any moment and would know of its importance and how it is solely for their safety. Servers can freely opt-in or out.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
sending out a please update notice?
