Lots of Mastodon instances are struggling with the heavy influx of users. Twitter was the same in the early days. The Fail Whale, was something you’d see on a regular basis. Gives it a chance, things will get better.
@omar I had forgotten all about the fail whale.
@SLATED I have fond memories of refreshing Twitter, probably making the problem worse by generating more traffic.
@omar Those simple days, and your modem sounded like something from Back to the Future while it connected 😉
