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:

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