Joined mastodon.social to get started, now seeing that heading off to a new server is the way to #helpMastodonScale. I'm migrating over to @[email protected]. Hope my six followers get carried across. I'm following all the instructions!

@wjrl I was thinking about maybe doing the next tournament on here—it would get a lot fewer participants than Twitter, but this place seems nicer

A number of people have asked what I could have done better. In particular, I should have set the first post in the thread to public and the rest of the posts as unlisted.

Here's a fantastic explainer from @djnavarro via @flodebarre:

(It's worth reading the entire thing. I learned a ton.)

I’m seeing tons of awesome stuff that’s outside of my usual security firehose on other sites

Has any group of people done more damage to American democracy than the group known as “billionaires”?

Some, I’m sure, are nice people. But they could still be nice (and rich as Croesus) if we taxed their wealth back down to a few hundred million. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/06/nyregion/ronald-lauder-zeldin-governor.html

[This post contains an error in the number of Twitter users. Check the new one here: https://mastodon.social/@estebanmoro/109302968305953555 ] Something big is happening in Mastodon over the weekend. Here is my graph, updated. Right now Mastodon is growing ~3 times faster than Twitter.

Pictures and videos should now be loading fast again on mastodon.social. The load balancer was hitting the limits of its hardware too so I had to upgrade it #devops

Four days ago: huh this place is empty. Ooh I can follow three parked accounts

Yersterday morning: maybe 10% or so of the people I follow regularly on the bird site are here

Now: huh think it's fully half or more are here

It's a flood peeps. Never thought I'd see anything like it
