Today has been one hell of a day! I have been working on both devops and code optimization non-stop, as well as answering questions and e-mails. A lot of ms have been shaved off of requests and background jobs. Instance admins should probably update to the latest master. I'll be looking into adopting a more stable release system than just the master branch.

Oh also, I did read that "Mastodon will go extinct" article. The author doesn't get it, and didn't reach out to me at all.

@gargron Regarding "Mastodon will die", it reminds me lot about this: https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/ Some people like to call certain technologies/code/ideas bad simply because they don't like them for one reason or another. *shrug*

Also: I notice, on replies to someone it now includes the instance. Excellent, thank you for that! :)

@touya @Gargron The "other" social network grew organically. I would venture to say that it wasn't an instant hit (it took me years to get the hang of it). If we play our cards right, we can turn this into the same thing, but something that is more fulfilling.
