Ukraine's survival, Zelensky's triumphant speech - none of this was inevitable. Let's try to imagine what would have happened if the US and Europe had not helped Ukraine, if Russia had occupied the country, if the Ukrainian political class and creative class had been wiped out, if Russian troops were now based along the Polish border. What would the world look like now?

So we got another #twitterexodus this Friday it seems. Prior to Friday, `select count(*) from users` returned ~60k. Now it says ~66k. 10% growth in 2 days.

So far the infrastructure is holding up 💪 .

Also have you noticed we now have a 1000 characters limit (web only). Please do not ask me about characters limit on the various Apps as I have no control over them. They probably are open source like Mastodon is, so open a ticket or a PR with them.

Have a nice Sunday everyone 😀

...
Some more text to test the +500 characters limit ;)

A front page article on the Washington Post telling people how to get started with Mastodon?

That’s a big deal.
