Imagine, you have to run a successful party for nine children but instead the whole school turns up, all 400 of them.
But you can’t turn them away, you have to feed them well and be cheerful, that would be very hard eh?

That is what the #mastodon technical administrators are doing now.
They are playing catch up while trying to keep the services live and we should all be patient, it’s incredibly complex to run these systems and keep them up 24/7.
Patience, please.
