@mastodonusercount New record for a single hour :)

@mastodonusercount what woah our time has come

Can the servers handle it?

@mastodonusercount Oha. Fast 10k in der letzten Stunde.
@mastodonusercount whoa is this picking up again?!
@nightmaresiege @mastodonusercount Yep. Mass walkout at Twitter HQ just now. This is just the start..

@nightmaresiege @mastodonusercount It had gone down to under 2K/hr earlier today after trending around 2.5K/hr for the last two weeks

This is a massive uptick

“NEW: Twitter just alerted employees that effective immediately, all office buildings are temporarily closed and badge access is suspended. No details given as to why.”

@mastodonusercount we have liftoff, again

@jsyguy @mastodonusercount

No, before we had liftoff, but now we have an orbital flyby with gravity acceleration.

@rwutz @mastodonusercount god I hope the mastodon servers can take this sort of trajectory

@jsyguy @mastodonusercount

The larger ones seem to have improved their infrastructure for scalability after the recent spikes. Small instances might get into trouble in the coming days, though. But new instances will be created soon, i am sure.

@rwutz @mastodonusercount Yeah exactly that. I hope that what the larger ones have done is enough for now to sustain the massive tidal wave incoming.

From what I remember happening shortly after I joined, they had issues where sending stuff across instances was casing the most issues as once one slowed, it has some knock on issues. With that being said I think lots was done to address it since. I’m just a newbie though so that all could be a load of nonsense.

@mastodonusercount remember that this bot doesn't even include all instances. New Zealand's largest instance with ~8k users is not included.
@mastodonusercount NINE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED?!?!?!?!
@mastodonusercount New signups are going to rocket in the next 24-48 hours now. That mass walkout will cause a real earthquake!

Story to be updated soon with more: Am hearing that several “critical” infra engineering teams at Twitter have completely resigned. “You cannot run Twitter without this team,” one current engineer tells me of one such group. Also, Twitter has shut off badge access to its offices.

@mastodonusercount what. the. fuck. just. happened?
Hundreds of Twitter employees resign after Elon Musk’s ‘hardcore’ ultimatum

Hundreds of Twitter’s remaining employees have resigned rather than stay for Elon Musk’s “extremely hardcore” cultural reset of the company.

@mastodonusercount @Jonathan: The current hour’s new user pace is roughly 3X the velocity last weekend, and is running at three new accounts per second…Sounds about right….
