I know it's soooo bad what Elon did to Twitter, really.
But I've been running this server for over 3 years now to flee Twitter and somehow it feels things are falling into place...
I have met such amazing and wonderful people here on the Fediverse that I consider my true friends no matter where they live❤️
The only thing I want is for you to have the same and here you have a chance do that just that!

Hi everyone! It looks as though we're receiving a spike in signups this morning. If this continues through the weekend, please be aware that slowdowns may occur at peak times.
We scaled up from under 1,000 users to over 14,000 the past week. We're currently waiting on new hardware to arrive in our hands to give us some headroom.

In other words: we've been working like clockwork since last week, and we're awaiting new systems to make sure your experience here is buttery smooth.
@davey_cakes that’s an analogy that’s gonna stick in my head! Good luck to you.
I was wondering where we go to contribute. It's here, on Patreon:

I don’t understand why people think Mastodon is difficult. It seems pretty straightforward, and the separate servers are no biggie. I’m enjoying this fresh start here, like moving to a new apartment!
@davey_cakes May the road rise to meet you, and the wind be always at your back… Wherever you are going you take the gift of expressing yourself through writing with you. That could well be the opening paragraph of a decent novel.

PLEASE BOOST: Right now Mastodon is only receiving appr. $21,000/month through Patreon.
This is not enough to handle the 1 million new accounts that will be made this week.
Currently, only 4,720 patrons are donating to Mastodon.
However, if everyone chips in $2/month, this will ensure the continued survival of Mastodon!

@radehi @BE the involvement of big business in renewables is a bit of an elephant in the room alright. When we built our house in 2003 we didn’t go for PV but vacuum tubes to heat hot water in a memory cylinder. This proved to be about as much use as a chocolate teapot. You get hot water on hot days. There are about two of these such days annually in Donegal. 🤦🏻♂️
@BE preach it. Tell it how it is. And don’t forget to carbon offset. Couldn’t agree with you more. The whole pellet-burning fiasco in Northern Ireland in recent years testified to that. Superheated cowsheds and outbuildings year-round because there was a government grant for wood pellet-burning stoves.
@mick Thanks, should be interesting.
@mick Wow, thanks!

Strong words indeed. That must have been quite some prolonged agony during these past years.
It is profoundly intellectually lazy and offensive to the soul to think that the sum total of human expression could ever be mediated by any single...

@chinnyvision@topspicy.social yes, brings it all back. And remember the bumps on your birthday? A fast track to the spinal injuries unit, that.
