@Gargron thank you!

@Gargron It would be a wild understatement to say that we all appreciate the hard work you put into keeping this place humming.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

@Gargron May I remind you of that other network, and the propensity of the "Fail Whale" in it's early ... and adolescent days?

You're doing fine Eugen. You're doing fine.

@Gargron thank you for your continued efforts!

@Gargron thanks so much for keeping things running! Please do have a good rest!!

@Gargron vielenvielen Dank 🥹

@Gargron You are amazing! Thank you for all you do! 💖🙏

@Gargron You're awesome! 🙌 Thanks for everything you do!

@Gargron thank you

@Gargron No worries. Thank you!

@Gargron Thank you for this and for all you're doing here

@Gargron thanks for your hard work!

@Gargron thank you Euegen. Efforts are much appreciated!

@Gargron You have worked wonders. I just assumed that you got the new machine; that you figured out another solution is astonishing. Thank you again for your dedication. It is evident, and makes it easy to be patient.

@Gargron Thank you so much for all your hard work getting things back to normal!

@Gargron thank you! Hope the improved funding will get to you soon too!

@Gargron Please, don't worry. A few of us are in contact with members to switch to other domains. So you have more time. No rush. :) Get some sleep. 🙏🏻

@Gargron you are doing great work, no apologies are ever needed. I joined on the lower tier on Patreon sorry that it couldn't be higher

@Gargron thank you so much for your amazing work.

@Gargron Thank you 🤍
Have some rest too!

@Gargron keep up the great work!

@Gargron No, thank *you* for your hard work. I've noticed a lot of interest from Belgian twitter peeps lately, and all thoss extra users probably put a lot of strain on your system.

Keep up the good work, and watch your health. We can wait and be patient.

@Gargron thank you. Hope you get some sleep. 🙂

@Gargron Thank you for everything. You’re doing great!

@Gargron Thanks so much! :--)

@Gargron you're amazing Eugen. Look after yourself pls

@Gargron works way better now, fantastic work - thank you!

@Gargron Don't worry! You are really good and your commitment does you great honour and you deserve respect and much admiration! You only deserve a thousand thanks and a thousand more because it is thanks to you that Mastodon is becoming great and allows us to be ourselves in a sincere and free way.♥🥰👏🤝

@Gargron I notice it suddenly got way quicker, well done

@Gargron São os novos usuários. 😂

@Gargron 😀👍♥

@Gargron alles gut 🤗 ... das wird schon wieder... wenn meine infos stimmen hast du/ihr ~50k neuen accounts pro Tag zur zeit zu stemmen...
also Kopf hoch❗
wir wissen es alle zu schätzen, wie du/ihr euch für uns den A**** aufreisst damit der Laden hier lüppt... Du/ihr macht hier einen verd***t guten Job

@Gargron have been able to tell the difference

@Gargron Thank you and Good Luck 🍀

@Gargron nothing quite like optimizing code after you've seen how it performs under real world loads.

@Gargron
Thank you, Eugen.
(Don’t be too hard yourself.)

@Gargron You're doing great!

@Gargron mastodon not at its best is still better than "some other sites" at their best. ♥️

@Gargron Don't sweat it. Just happy you didn't die of exhaustion.

@Gargron Understandable! Thanks and all the best 🌠🌠

@Gargron Kia ora from Aotearoa NZ. I don't believe you have any need to apologize to us all for invading your space in some crazy run for the hills kind of stampede, but appreciate you doing so.

It doesn't hurt any of us to have some patience and understanding in this life and you have been doing more than the best you can, as you have just demonstrated. So a huge shout out to you, as an amazing human being for providing us this safe place to connect with each other. Kia kaha (stay/be strong).

@Gargron Grateful for you!

@Gargron very appreciative of your work to keep things up and running. I trust all will be well in good time. ♥️

@Gargron

Thanks for your work.

@Gargron these stress tests are horrible for you I am sure, but it always amazes me how you have been able to improve the site under those conditions. The new hardware will get provisioned I. Time, but these improvements will also be a benefit going forward.

Thank you for all your hard work.

@Gargron this has been seriously impressive: you're a bunch of teams rolled up into a single person! Please take care of yourself!

@Gargron Thank you!

@Gargron Thank you and the Mastodon long-timers for your patience in dealing with the entire world showing up all at once.

@Gargron thank you so much for all you do.

@Gargron Incredible work, thank you!

@Gargron Thanks for your hard work.

@Gargron Einfach Danke! Ich fühle mich hier richtig wohl und bin noch nicht mal eine Woche hier. Und auch die halbe #Java bubble ist schon hier. 💚

@Gargron it's alright, the influx of traffic was expected when Mastodon got more attention recently :BlobHajMlem:

@Gargron We really appreciate all the work you've been putting into keeping this place going! Take some well-deserved rest for now!

@Gargron Thanks for all the hard work 🙇‍♂️

@Gargron Thank you for your efforts!

@Gargron Thank you for your hard work. Even when it's not at it's best, Mastodon is simply wonderful.

@Gargron Thanks for all your work, it is amazing! - Übrigens: Man kann wohl auch nicht derzeit Mastodon über Pattreon unterstützen. Meine Zahlung kam zurück.

@Gargron Thank you for all of your hard work!

@Gargron Thanks for you work.

Hope you have a good rest after this.

@Gargron Danke dir 🤩, hoffe du kannst ausreichend Schlaf nachholen und hast meine Jammerei wegen Overloadprobs nicht so streng gesehen.

@Gargron you are amazing!

@Gargron
Eugen, ich denke alle, die dir die Tür spontan und in kurzer Zeit eingetreten haben, sind so freundlich und nehmen Rücksicht und haben auch noch ein paar Tage länger Geduld.

Ich kann sagen, dass die Programmoptimierung bereits Wirkung gezeigt hat.

Wir sind dankbar, dass wir so schnell eine neue Heimat finden konnten. Ich bin so frei und spreche für uns Neuankömmlinge.

🙏

@Gargron Thanks for all you're doing!

I imagine it's been an exhausting week, but super impressed with Mastodon and glad to join the herd here at mastodon.social

@Gargron whatever you did, it seems to be a HUGE improvement. Thanks for all your hard work!

@Gargron hey, it’s still better than the alternatives!

@Gargron It's okay! Thank you for all your hard work.

@Gargron It’s been brilliant to experience an alternative

@Gargron on mi side, I’m part of the “invasion” and I will be patient. Thank you for your great work!

@Gargron hopefully all optimizations that can trickle down and make the whole network more efficient later. 👍

@Gargron I was over on counter social and literally nothing is working. Could barely log in.

@Gargron Get some rest and thanks for all you do. I ended up moving servers in hopes it might help manage the added demand on the big server. But nonetheless great work managing all this.

@Gargron Hey friend, we appreciate you!!!

@Gargron if I have questions on perhaps improving the visibility / accessibility of the android app's choice of colors when in dark mode, where can I toot / submit a request?

Particularly, in my case, when in android 12, in dark mode, the difference between a reblogged toot, or not reblogged yet, can perhaps be enhanced to make it more visible?

@Gargron thank you!

@Gargron remind us where to throw money?

@Gargron Thank you for all you do. I know it’s hard and mostly thankless. I appreciate you for it all.

@Gargron

Alles gut :)

@Schnurrfrequenz

@Gargron why did something happen?

Thank you for creating a nice space.

@Gargron Dann hab ich mir doch nicht eingebildet das es jetzt relativ flüssig läuft und es lag auch nicht an der späten Uhrzeit das es schneller wurde. Danke für deinen Einsatz! Sehr cool.

@Gargron We love you, keep up the great work! Stay positive!

@Gargron thanks for your hard work and dedication

@Gargron nothing to be sorry for. thank you for creating this wonderful place.

@Gargron great job.

I'm not sure you are aware that whatever your optimization was it seems to have broken instance and federated timelines on tusky. Not complaining, just informing.

@Gargron bruv… it’s ALL GOOD. You’re doing a great job considering all the challenges you’ve run into the last week or so.

@Gargron 🙌

@Gargron Thanks for all your hard work. If it's any consolation the Birdcage is running slow as hell for me. Timeouts. Spinners. Posts failing. They'll be bringing back the Fail Whale next.

Is there anything we as users can do to help take the load off? E.g. are phone clients less demanding on server resources than the web?

@Gargron nothing to apologize for here. Now we’re getting new servers AND optimized code.

Growing pains are to be expected, I hope this is an auspicious month for the platform.

@Gargron You are doing your best and that speaks volumes!

@Gargron Thanks for everything you’re doing. I think the majority of people here understand and are excited to see the ecosystem grow.

@Gargron thanks for all your efforts

@Gargron Thanks for the great work!!

@Gargron thank you for everything you do. ❤️

@Gargron Thank you for your hard work! I hope you can get some R&R soon. I've tripled my pledge on Patreon, it's still not a lot but hopefully if others do the same it will help you get paid better and keep the lights on around here.

@Gargron No need to apologize for anything. The space you and your team have created here is a much needed oasis in a desert of disinformation, vitriol, and overall insanity. We need responsible social media and Mastodon is a huge step in that direction. All you need to do is take a bow while we applaud the efforts you've made so far.

@Gargron: You are doing a tremendous job. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, brilliance and dedication.

@Gargron Thanks for explaining. I appreciate your time and efforts.

@Gargron Your work is great. I am new in this place and hope it will keep growing.

@Gargron I know you have Patreon, but maybe set up a bigger crowdfund that we can all contribute towards to help make this place the best version it can be. Thanks for all of your hard work.
