"mastodon was down"
nah y'all, https://mastodon.social was down! other mastodon instances were fine!
consider getting accounts on smaller instances and so we can have a network of nice little communities. mastodon works best when moderation is distributed among many instances!
@io Mastodon is very similar to IRC. Your favorite IRC server goes down that doesn't mean FreeNode dies. It means you go to a different server to get back on.
Consider using a smaller instance. You should also look for instances that are located closer to you with a lower TTL. You can export your favs/blocks/follows and import them into an account on the smaller instance so nothing appears different to you at your second home.
