It's been a real busy day and I think most of you on mstdn.social has noticed we are almost an hour behind on the timelines.. :sad_cat: Past night around 11K new people joined mstdn.social via invite links and this was a little too much to handle :blobcatgiggle: So instead of running in circles, I have setup another public #Mastodon instance with the same rules as on mstdn. To lighten the load on mstdn, perhaps some would care to migrate to the new instance? https://masto.ai/invite/fLZGCQUR
