High Activity

Some servers are lagging, but the network is fine, and most instances are still accepting new accounts. Please be patient as systems administrators manage the situation. It may get worse given the Twitter news.

@mastodon.social, @mastodon.lol, @mastodon.online, @mstdn.social remain closed to new user registrations.

#NewUsers now above 5000 per hour.

We are now higher than last week's rate. Mastodon is managing this surge so far. Some servers are lagging. Please be patient as systems administrators manage the situation. It may get worse given the Twitter news.

@mastodonmigration Unless your instance is hosted by your employer or some such arrangement, do find out how to support the hosting and admins...nobody is selling your ID, preferences and interests to advertisers so where does money come from?

@mastodonmigration Just curious, for some historical context to the numbers, what was the total number of users on the day that you-know-who took over you-know-where? Don't remember the exact date, but it was like the first week of November.

@mastodonmigration Mastodon.lol is something like 74,000 people. That's a challenge enough for one man and few mods, without even more added.

@jamiegc Of course. Actually larger instances closing registrations during these surges is a very good thing, as it encourages people to seek out smaller servers which spreads the load. The purpose here is to provide status. Certainly not to criticize.

@mastodonmigration right, didn't think you were being critical.
