full quote is "Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, vox populi, vox dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.”
it translates to:
"Do not listen to those who say the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the tumult of the crowd is always close to madness."
Currently Masto.host is experiencing the highest volume of traffic that has ever reached the infrastructure.
The service is partially degraded and I will be doing fast upgrades on the platform.
These can lead to partial downtime, errors and large delays in support requests.
Really sorry. Doing the best I can on my end. Hope you understand. Thanks.
@mikegalsworthy Yes definitely, and well done for putting in so much work on this.
People new to this might not realise that likes/favourites work like a "thank you" but do nothing to make the post more visible. There is no algorithm. Use the button that looks like retweet, which is called either "boost" or "reblog" depending on which app you're using.
It is depressing how many time Home Secretary's have pitched exactly the same policy only to see if fail in exactly the same way. Basing policy on preventing people seeking asylum in the UK will never work. The only outcome is strengthening gangs as people are forced into taking ever more dangerous routes.
