It's time for some sleep   

I've tried my best to setup as much background workers as possible to chew through the jobs.. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Again I am so sorry for all issues on mstdn.social today..  

If you want you can migrate your account to any other server! https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

I even setup one extra for you all with the same guidelines and features โค๏ธ

The URL is plain and simple: masto.ai

Good night my dear friends   

Moving or leaving accounts - Mastodon documentation

Take your information and do what you want with it.

@stux Have a good night, Stux. ๐Ÿ’ค You don't get billions for selling our data, so don't worry. We need to be thankful for your work and commitment. ๐Ÿค› Kudos to you and all other instance managers ๐Ÿ’ช
@stux thanks for all youโ€™ve done! Get some rest.
@stux On the spectrum of problems, this is a good one to have. Well done, sir.
@stux Good night Stux! Thank you for all of your help. You have made all of us feel so welcome!
@stux thanks for all you do
@stux We appreciate you and all you do for us!
@stux all is goodโœŒ๏ธโ˜บ๏ธ
@stux thanks for all you do. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
@stux I have only noticed a couple issues and nothing major. I just figured it was because of overload and would sort itself out eventually.
@stux best server admin   nevah leaving. thanks for all the hard work
@stux scaling up is hard. I'm just a noob and don't know the architecture but would help if I can (maybe that's just dollars/euros)(or maybe it's cloud hosting expertise or k8s design)
@stux Iโ€™m new here but just wanted to thank you and all at Mastodon for all your work. I hope you have good rest.
@stux you're doing an amazing job!!! I like this
@stux thanks for all your hard work.
@stux hey man. You are doing the best you can and a good job. The amount of users overall almost doubled. It is hard to keep up with this amount of people. But โ€˜jeejโ€™! Go Open Internet Social Media!!
@stux thanks so much for all your work. We really don't expect everything to run perfect after this crazy increase of users. Enjoy your rest and please take it easy. ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿข๐Ÿ€
@stux I didnโ€™t initially understand that I could join a smaller server and still be part of the big network. However, you present great leadership on this one and I will stick here. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป
@stux Would you be interested in experimenting with a democratic governance model on your servers if the users wanted it too? Something like social.coop, but without the socialist and anti-capitalist bias there. You will need a bigger team, additional expertise and money to scale, otherwise burnout is just around the corner. And perhaps you would get the most involvement if the contributing users also participated in the decisions (at least moderation rules, maybe also funds use, the team, etc).
@stux as a new member and patron, I want to thank you for all you do to keep this site functioning.
@stux Dude, unless it falls over, I'm staying.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
@stux Your work is much appreciated...

@stux
@caranmegil @calculsoberic

Do we have any news?

The issue is totally okay for me and understandable.
You may could bring this topic into the instance announcement to inform the users?!

I and probably many more would be very grateful ๐Ÿ™

@stux Youโ€™re doing an amazing job. Soon as I get back from dropping my sonโ€™s ballot off (he works in the next county over & I dropped mine off last week), Iโ€™ll log into Patreon. I canโ€™t afford a lot but def willing to support you monthly & ๐Ÿคž๐ŸฝI can increase the amount soon! #SupportYourMastodonServer

@stux appreciate all the extra work!

I take it everything is still completely overwhelmed? I haven't been able to upload an image since yesterday.

@stux To all the admins out there, you are doing an incredible job shouldering an unprecedented burden. I believe we can build this network. We need to help users understand that in a distributed network, it is not be best strategy for everyone to pile onto the biggest server. I think of it as life boats. People survive by putting a few people in each boat, not by overloading one boat (which sinks) and leaving the rest half full.
@stux
Hi Stux. Iโ€™m not getting any new posts from my followsโ€ฆ so no new news right before our election. Lots of 502 errors and wheels turning. Iโ€™ve been going back to twitter.
Help! and Thanks!
@stux Can't say that I personally experienced any issues. Everything seems to be fine for me. Don't be hard on yourself, you are doing an amazing job.
@stux Get some good rest! 
@stux itโ€™s ok. I will stick with you. Your #ukrainian colours did it for me, and that cat. Get some rest where possible. I can only imagine how many are coming over from Twitter. Keep up the good work.
@stux but then you wouldnโ€™t be our instance human/cat? Iโ€™m starting to be fond of you
@stux
You are fantastic ๐Ÿ‘ I love it here and am grateful for all of your hard work. We all need a few slow days now and then. First world problems!
@stux thank you for all your work!
@stux , thank you for doing the work that keeps things humming. Much appreciated!
@stux Thank you for all of this.
@stux nice work, thank you and good night
@stux thanks for the hard work!
@stux thanks for everything you do :)
@stux New here... I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work and time you are putting in - I guess as a result of us who have left the other place. It is most appreciated.
Thank you for all the hard work @stux. It is much much appreciated!
@stux I am on sfba (San Francisco/Bay Area) and all is well!
@stux Thanks, and please take care of yourself! We appreciate all of your hard work.
@stux no worries. It will all be fine

@stux still sleeping? ๐Ÿ˜…

PS: We love you!
