My fellow admins will probably lok sideways at me for saying this, but one of the things I genuinely love about the Fediverse is that sometimes servers just temporarily go down.

It's a reminder that infrastructure doesn't just happen. If someone is enjoying playing with their kids, or eating dinner, or reading a book or whatever instead of maintaining five nines so we can post about doing those things ...that's Good, Actually.

Re-posting publicly because I accidentally did it followers-only and people have nicely asked if they can boost.

Home invasion - Mastodon's Eternal September begins

:boost_ok:

Just thinking about how much David Graeber would have loved this week.

American plutocrats setting fire to their wallets whilst the people they thought they'd captured simply turn to volunteer cooperatives for their social communication needs.

I feel sorry for the people who only joined the fediverse this week because they didn't get to experience when the nazis set up their own Mastodon server and 99% of of the Fediverse just ...defederated from them. No handwringing about "freeze peach", just big signs everywhere saying "Nazis not welcome".

What a glorious moment.
