I've noticed Mastodon is slowing down a bit today—probably because of a wave of new user sign-ups over the weekend.
@shoq posted that CBS News has now halted all posting and activity on the birdsite. This, as well as VW setting up a presence on Mastodon, are early indicators that a wave (make that a tsunami!) is at hand. 🌊
Things are going to be chaotic for a while, and some Mastodon instances/servers might struggle to accommodate everybody, but we will get through this! Help out as you can.
There are a lot of posts flying around about supporting Mastodon through the Mastodon Patreon.
That supports Eugen (Gargron) and the central Masto social instance. But if you’re not on Masto social, it doesn’t support your instance.
Check your instance to see if there’s a fundraising other support link to help pay the hosting and bandwidth. They might need the money more than Gargron.
