Mastodon.social outage

Mastodon.social is down. Pretty rare. What do now?

Wait till Gargron wakes up
Check your backups
Use your second Mastodon / Pleroma / calckey / honk / Bonfire account to continue

And thanks for the heads up.

The instance has too many people registered. It has ~27% of all Mastodon's monthly active users.

A huge part of the network was down. People should be encouraged to migrate to smaller instances, so we can have better decentralization.

~43% of all Lemmy's monthly active users are on lemmy.world .

Yeah, that's even worse.

Yep

They seem to be back up now (for me at any rate), but apparently their ISP was having network issues.
