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.

Alternatively, stand up an instance, using a different code-base. This isn't about trying to make any one instance bigger than all the others, against increasingly greater friction.
