Mastodawn

If you've noticed Mastodon.social being offline a few evenings this week, it was actually under DDOS those nights. When I asked, I was told the best way to help with Mastosoc's scaling and resiliency-under-pressure issues would be to help them fill this open job posting for a devops position with Mastodon gGMBH:

https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/mastodon/290fd40f-125e-41fc-942d-f4ce59e6bda2

If you know anyone who might be qualified for this position, pass it on!

DevOps Engineer (m/f/d)

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to maintain and streamline the operation of our own Mastodon infrastructure (servers, official resources) and help us scale with demand.

@mcc @thegibson I mean…isn’t the thing to do to distribute the targets, too?

@JoshuaACNewman @thegibson I'm using mastodon.social, so it's in my personal interests for mastodon.social to have good uptime! It's also a good idea for the fediverse to be spread out across many servers, but that's a separate matter.
