Another spike incoming!

Looks like today's spike is the largest in a long time -- and this is why we're all experiencing lots of slowness and performance issues.

Even my small instances are being affected.

@atomicpoet I'm on a large instance and things are getting SLOW, like the best days of the first #twittermigration . Thinking seriously about creating a Mastodon instance for friends and personal use.

@josemiguelcastillo @atomicpoet Good idea, but don't judge things to quickly. The system is responding to a huge surge right now. This is not normal operations.

#twittermigration

@rubicon @atomicpoet yeah, it is slow but working... and the fediverse was able to grow much more a few weeks ago, when many many more people came here, with the existing infrastructure.

My idea of creating my own instance is more of a nerdy/techie interest 👍
