Eugen RochkoI would prefer it if Elon Musk was destroying his site during the work week. This isn't the first time.
Matt Quick@Gargron Thanks for all you do!
Alexander@Gargron hahaha
Calamity Beast Seydlitz@Gargron stay strong Eugen
Didzis 🚂@Gargron lack of respect and business ethics… But is it unexpected? Thank you for all the hard work!
Hans
🇺🇦Will🏴FellaWorks in your favour big time 👍
Femme Malheureuse@Gargron Did the last time it happened like this also occur with the end of the month when bills came due or contracts ended? LOL
Rambo III@Gargron Elon treibt unnötigen Wahnsinn. Noch einer aus alternativen Realität. Face-palm
Miranda Whiting@Gargron Ugh. He has no brain
Heinmax ©™@Gargron Elon ist crazy 😬
@energiepirat
Ben Ramsey@Gargron Sounds like this could be a purposeful strategy on his part to take down Fediverse servers.

Sören@vmstan @ramsey @Gargron yeah. Sequence of events seems to be
1) those evil third-party clients shall die! (Have you tried negotiating with them?)
2) drat! Now we have more scrapers! (Who could have predicted that?)
3) let’s rate-limit everyone, and limit guests to zero? (Have you adapted the front-end to reduce requests, or does it keep trying?)
4) oh no, we’re now dDoSing ourselves! (So that’s a no.)
I don’t think there’s a mastermind at work here. Just someone who’s reacting, not strategic.

Sander van Kasteel
Jason Kwok@Gargron Now the load time of multiple Mastodon instances had become slower, thanks Elon!
Macer
ObliCold@Gargron He wanted to ruin your week-end haha
halcy 
Xavi
CyberMat75@Gargron I blame the Government for not regulating him to force him to do stupid stuff during the work week.
el EL@Gargron thank you, John Mastodon!
Nostalgia Ninja@Gargron ah, personally this feels like it's the same old. This on month end weekend when I'm supposed to relax.
Last month it was false bans. This month it's rate limiting. We're so tired.
I know I'm not the most loyal person to Mastodon, but I appreciate the groundwork you've put in for us here.
Helen@Gargron thoughts and prayers
Eejittery ☀️Ooh . . . I'm letting that sink in
Igor Ferreira@Gargron Twitter is just a “fun” side project for him, a toy to play with. He never looks at it during the work week.
soundandfury@Gargron A bit of me wishes he'd either sell the bird site or kill it off entirely (by accident or design.)
Arathar@Gargron I have sympathy for the weekend workers that must repair the garbage changes. Maybe on Saturday and Sunday, Twitter is run in Beta mode? A change doesn’t count unless it makes it until Monday morning.
DohNut@Gargron I saw speculation that it may be his service providers throttling his service level back, since Elmo hasn't been paying them for some time. This level of service will lead to advertisers suing for not getting the eyeball count they paid for.
Luca Sironi (da chiudere)@Gargron spike of traffic ?
CJ the Awkward Lefty@Gargron yeah, now what am I supposed to do while I'm procrastinating going grocery shopping?
Roelant@Gargron I think it's a favour to all those volunteer instance admins who have a day job and only have time for this kind of shenanigans in the evening or weekend. 😉
★ Amy Star ★@Gargron Mark Zuckerberg is about to give destroying the Fediverse his best shot in a couple of weeks with Project 92, too! Hope you're prepared to block all Meta instances the moment it goes live. 🙏
Tim W RESISTS@Gargron we admins who do this for passion and not pay prefer it this way (well, I do, anyway, can't speak for everyone)
mirabilos
Kate Birrell@Gargron It’s an entire week since Prigozhin shot himself in the foot - wonder what’ll happen next Saturday..
Keith Ivey@Gargron Your work is appreciated!
@Gargron I don’t know why everybody keeps giving Elon a hard time. He has done wonders for decentralized social networks and kicked down doors for the rest to follow suit. Keep up the good work! 😂
Rev. GothAlice@Gargron Good timing for Canada Day and July 4th, though. Given the status page says "All Systems Operational", this may be an intended new norm?
John Bergquist 🍥@Gargron i would prefer if he destroys the site in one go instead of this painfully long death.
Hüseyin DÖNMEZ@Gargron 🙋♂️🙋♂️
Trolli Schmittlauch 🦥@Gargron We all know how dear labour laws and rights are to his heart, just kindly ask him.
Tobias Merkendorf@Gargron he has no respect for the working man anyhow...
DJGummikuh@Gargron these stats that occasionally fly around here, are they publicly accessible somewhere?
Fubaroque@Gargron It's all those hardcore developers. They always do their testing in production... #andtheygetboredduringweekends
Torsten 
@Gargron I would agree to a fight between #Zuckerberg and #Musk. Only two rules:
1. Musk is tied up
2. Zuckerberg punches Musk in the face for 30 min
TankFox
René Schmit
xs4me2Hehehe…
Seirdy@Gargron “If you’re struggling with the load, maybe you should close sign-ups.” I said, knowing that would never happen.
Purd@Gargron yea that's why Im here because reddit and twitter are being shit
Hendrik Fleming@Gargron he totally broke it this time… poor idiot
mishaal 
@Gargron He enjoys ruining holidays …
Shady@Gargron He can't manage a website, he doesn't design his own cars, he knows nothing about rocket science. Yet he is billion times richer than me
Not fair
Nora Y.@Gargron 😂😂😂 der war gut.
ShellSea@Gargron jajaja I won't go back. Do you bluesky?
57thOverlanders@Gargron it's an end of the month/quarter thing. He owed payments to Google and Amazon for server hosting services and didn't make the payments.
