Public Service Warning
Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.
It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.
We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.
The ultimate goal is to undermine your perceptions of the world so you never really know what is happening. It’s a strategy to maintain power by keeping you constantly confused and overwhelmed.
Because it is undefinable, it often seems unstoppable. But it's not unstoppable -- you just have to know what you're up against.
And that's my goal: To help you see it, characterize it, and develop the cognitive resilience you need to fight it, so you can save your energy for the real fight ahead.
