The spike from the recent innflux of twitter users is so enourmous it has completely distorted the users graph. You cant evenn read the numbers any more and the daily user graph spiked past the total user graph.
Wow.. ok then.
@bonifartius Yea we have a pretty beefy server, way more than what we need.
+bonifartius 𒂼𒄄
@freemo handling a 33% increase in users without big problems is no mean feat :D do you have numbers on how the network traffic increased? one does read that it's like a DDOS for some
@bonifartius Network I need to find some stats for that.. in terms of jobs, we went from 1.5 million jobs per day to 7.7 million jobs... so id expect network traffic to be somewhere in the same ballpark
@freemo
> we went from 1.5 million jobs per day to 7.7 million jobs...
that's quite a bit! 👀
@bonifartius We have plenty of breathing room though, even now we could handle more.
@freemo looking at the graph there will likely be some more people 
@freemo Wait... what? We have *another* spike? I thought it was starting to mell... oh right, latest Twitter shennanigans.
@trinsec No no i was talking about the spike we just got over.
@freemo What do you mean 'we just got over'? I'm seeing a new very steep one very much a sliver there on the right.
@trinsec You are looking at a 2-year long chart, not the one-week chart.. that little sliver is the last week
@trinsec Sorry three year.
@freemo It definitely is a bigger wave than the one of a half year ago.
@trinsec The one from a half year ago is the first time anyone heard musk was buying twitter... so they are related :)
@freemo Yes, I know. ;) Just stating the obvious here.
@trinsec Oh thanks, very important skill you have there :)
@freemo Oh don't flatter yourself. ;)
@freemo Proud to be part of the QOTO wave!
@freemo 😬 Sorry about that…
@freemo thanks for making us newcomers feel welcome.
@gpowerf Its been a pleasure
@freemo I’d call that “growing pains.”
@freemo sparks from twitter collision are visible from mastodon 🙆🏻🐦🐘
@freemo Will be curious to see how it dies back down. My longtime mastodon using friend is convinced most of the tweeps will sort into their own servers that keep up the culture and posting habits of twitter, rather than truly acclimate to existing servers. I think tweeps could definitely benefit from laying off the outrage reactionary pedal a bit, but at the same time it's been eye opening to see marginalized cross-overs point to problems in mastodon that are hard to see from the inside.
@toplesstopics @freemo
The best analogy would to to view it as a series of funnels.
@lucifargundam funnels but with holes that let you jump between funnels kinda, but sometimes the owners of those funnels will close up the holes so you'd have to clone yourself to also go into those funnels to communicate with others in that funnel, lol. IDK Mastodon still confuses the hell out of me in a lot of ways, but it seems so far like it's worth it to keep trying to figure it out.
@toplesstopics
I think you're overthinking it.
Would drawing it out be better?
@lucifargundam nah I was mostly trying to make a joke, sorry 😅
@freemo it's pretty nice that qoto holds up so well :) haven't had any big issues, i think i got a one-off 500 error yesterday.
