Dear famous people (50,000+ followers?) moving over to Mastodon,

Once you've chosen a server, please email the admin before joining, to give them a chance to bolster the server! If you don't, the people from Twitter following you there will probably break it.

Thank you! 💚

This reminds me of an article I saw on the Guardian website or similar, about/by a famous food critic, where people didn't know what he looked like so he'd go to a restaurant and eat there and if it was REALLY GOOD he'd have to go and give the manager a heads-up, because he was about to write a positive article about his restaurant and he was quite famous and influential, so the manager would need to hire a lot more staff by a deadline, and the restaurant would be absolutely swamped.
