TBH this place might not survive tonight's new user influx, but we'll see.

The three 504 errors that bubbled up as I typed this aren't a promising start.

@hokieon29 I think I’d characterize the experience thus far as “bumpy”
@dctrojan yeah, I expect this to be reminiscent of the fail-whale era for a bit if people do flip en masse. The big test will be when the bird site actually does go visibly down.
@dctrojan @hokieon29 I would strongly encourage donating to the admin’s Patreon if you can just to be good houseguests and help keep this place up and running
@BrianASmith @dctrojan @hokieon29 Just set up a monthly contribution. Anything to have a nice internet home!
@kbuts @BrianASmith @dctrojan @hokieon29 I need to go contribute to my instance.
