I sense another influx of new users coming to the #fediverse soon. So I really think we should do our part to manage expectations.

If you are coming to #Mastodon for the #Twitter experience, I really have to caution you - a lot of us #mastoadmin don't know how to replicate the level of brokenness you're accustomed to.

If you want, every once in a while we can just turn the server off or something. If more people sign up for the Patreon I might be able to hire a part time troll for shift work.

But I guess what I'm saying is just realize we all have limited resources. Many of us have other jobs and families, and we're doing the best with the time we can set aside for maintenance.

That just might mean we don't randomly shut off the API and make all the apps stop working. If that is a dealbreaker for you, I mean, I'm sorry. Maybe this isn't going to work out.
