Every #Mastodon admin right now.
There may be some slowdown at Sauropods.win folks, I'm going for another upgrade, but the hosting provider is struggling to keep up with this colossal deluge.
@john Q: why?
I get their support is struggling, I'm sure, but in terms of server capacity... isn't it just.. spinning up a bigger VPS?
@thibaultmol I'm on managed hosting at a small company. Mastodon is actually a finicky beast, and requires some tuning to actual loads as far as I understand it.
@john @thibaultmol Mastodon is using one of the slowest languages for web - Ruby (5-10+ times slower than PHP for example). I think that doesn't help the whole thing.
