I am heartbroken by this news. 5 are dead and 18 wounded from this horrific armed assault at a gay club hosting a drag show night in Colorado Springs.
An attack upon our community anywhere is an attack upon us all everywhere. My heart is with the victims and their families.

I never thought I'd say this, but @matt_levine reaming FTX is even better than @matt_levine reaming @elonmusk (repeatedly).

Expect some of the following to happen in the coming weeks:
- celebrities with huge follower counts pushing tiny community-run servers to their knees
- instance admin burnout; shutting down of servers
- big new servers that don't "vibe" with common rules or culture being widely defederated
- some notable account violating an instance code of conduct and throwing a fit
- lots of people ragequitting Mastodon for one reason or another
- etc.
It'll be a rough ride. Patience and strength, all.
