It's actually pretty amazing that a open source product developed by a tiny non-profit, running on a network of servers self-funded by volunteer administrator and moderators has managed to absorb some portion of one of the world's largest for-profit social networks.

It's a miracle the whole thing didn't collapse or catch fire.

Great job everyone.

@mike, the amount of work from the instance admins have put into making sure the different instances scale has been incredible. Decentralization at its finest without the “web3” gimmicks.
