Dear fedi, #HugYourAdmin today.  

There apparently is an on-going bot campaign that is creating performance issues on many instances.

My home instance was down for a bit, there are others that are having hiccups. Admins are dealing with this, and they will deal with it eventually. They always do.  

In the meantime, if your instance is down, be patient. And if your instance is up, send hugs to your admin. 👍

@rysiek as a fedi admin, yes, please, i need hugs 
@rysiek
Hugs to your Admin is allways a good Idea...
(Did I mention, that I host my own instance? Do I need to hug myself?)
😉

With a bit of luck, what this will do is strengthen Mastodon, and the Fediverse, as admins find ways to fend off these attacks.
@rysiek can you share /link more details? I'm getting some interesting follows...
