Ajit Pai is trying to kill net neutrality and I fucking hate his guts.

Call your reps and call the FCC, tell them not to do it. This is serious shit.

היום למדתי שיש רק טופ-לבל-דומיין אחד בכתיב עברי : '.קום' . כל העלגות, המסחרה והאמריקנופיליה של התרבות המקומית בשלוש אותיות קצרות. קסוּם.

If you want to avoid long timeline backlogs, spin up or join another instance. Fewer folks on the instance = less timeline backlog possibility ;-)

List at https://instances.mastodon.xyz/

Now 67738 that's about 178 in 2 minutes.

Any who, we have 67,560 users on the all the known mastodon instances.

Good morning! Background processing queues on this instance cleared up a little, but still haven't caught up with real-time. Going to continue working on increasing the performance of background tasks to increase the number of toots per minute that can be processed without delay.

Sorry for the silliness. The activity is simply more than 4x of previous peaks.

In other news, yesterday I finally fixed the mastodon bridge tool.

mastodon.social signups are now closed! Here's what you need to know:
- yes, your birdsite friends are jealous
- yes, your account is now the most valuable asset you own
- yes, you can sell it on the darkweb for 500 BTC, but really shouldn't you wait for it to hit 1000?

So, about this Mastodon thing (still learning):
- mastodon.social is to Mastodon what gmail.com is to email,
- like in email @usernames are only unique within a given server,
- MAXLEN=500 here,
- RTFM: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/tree/master/docs
- enough people already asked about end-to-end encrypted DMs. There are no.
- no one asked about e2e signed toots though yet?
- if you believe you're trustworthy enough, consider using the ✅ character to let others know they can trust you.

Ok, I'm sold. How do I buy shares in Mastadon or shout the devs a drink?
