Masto.host

Currently Masto.host is experiencing the highest volume of traffic that has ever reached the infrastructure.

The service is partially degraded and I will be doing fast upgrades on the platform.

These can lead to partial downtime, errors and large delays in support requests.

Really sorry. Doing the best I can on my end. Hope you understand. Thanks.

@mastohost, let us know if we can help with something. I'm honestly looking to get away from the five-nines mentality demanded by "ad-tech" companies. Scheduled down time sounds like a good option to me.

I was thinking of searching for a standard/proposal that uses to DNS records (or DHT) to publish a schedule and a way to throttle requests by kindly asking servers to be good netizens, but that's a lot of work I don't want to do.
