@mastohost you are doing an INCREDIBLE job and it's amazing things are holding up this well

@mastohost no worries, and keep up the good work! :BigBlobhajHug: good luck

@mastohost We totally understand. Thank you for everything that you do.

@mastohost totally get it, hope the incident goes ok 💖

@mastohost 💪 :bear_hugs: :coffee_mug:

@mastohost you're doing great! Deep breaths.

@mastohost Godspeed and good luck

@mastohost thanks for all your hard work

@mastohost good luck and hopefully no issues!

thanks for your service, you have been doing a great job all these years! 👍

@mastohost

Understood. I am seeing some degradation in response times, but it's useable.

@mastohost thanks for all your hard work!

@mastohost We understand and appreciate everything you are doing to keep us all online.

@mastohost Good luck! #Mastodon - and of course masto.host - is finally getting the #attention it deserved for so long.

@mastohost You are pretty wonderful, you know that? ☮️ 💚 :mastodon:

@mastohost Totally understandable. Thank you. And good luck. :D

@mastohost I appreciate you.

@mastohost hey, we really appreciate what you do for us and this corner of the internet. Take your time, breathe in and out, rest as much as you need and prioritise yourself. Ánimo!! ❤️

@mastohost thanks for your hard work!! :blobcatheart:

@mastohost I suspected that's what's happening and told my instance; they're calm and patient!

@mastohost thanks for your hard work Hugo!

@mastohost Fantastic work in unprecedented circumstances. Thank you!

@mastohost don't worry, take your time mostly everyone is able to understand the situation :blobCatFlower:

@mastohost HugOps

@mastohost thx

@mastohost YOU GOT THIS...and we totally understand.

Unlike hidden parasitic cosrs on other platforms, you're telling us in realtime.

Go Hugo :)

@mastohost, let us know if we can help with something. I'm honestly looking to get away from the five-nines mentality demanded by "ad-tech" companies. Scheduled down time sounds like a good option to me.

I was thinking of searching for a standard/proposal that uses to DNS records (or DHT) to publish a schedule and a way to throttle requests by kindly asking servers to be good netizens, but that's a lot of work I don't want to do.

@mastohost thanks for the info and no problem 😃

@mastohost You are doing great - take your time.

@mastohost Very few people predicted the Fediverse would grow this large, this quickly. I completely understand. Thanks for being my host.

@mastohost i am new here and really appreciate everything you're doing to keep the service running.

@mastohost hugops, as they say. you're doing great. when the dust settles a bit, i'm happy to up my subscription tier if that'll help with costs.

@mastohost many thanks for all your hard work, much appreciated.

@mastohost@mastodon.social #hugops to you and anyone else in a similar position, we appreciate what you are doing for the fediverse at large 💙

@mastohost Thank you for all the good work, you are awesome :BigBlobhajHug:

@mastohost thank you so much for your hard work!

@mastohost :tdrippingheart: :transpridefist:

@mastohost we really appreciate your efforts :ablobcatheart:

@mastohost I really appreciate all the work you've put into running Mastodon servers, for so many different communities! Thanks for the transparency, as well. Scaling is tough!

@mastohost Completely understand. Thanks for all that you do!

@mastohost Totally understandable. You're doing a great job!

@mastohost Thanks for your work and don't worry. When the madness subsides, we will still be here!

Smaller instances can hopefully help distribute the load. I started one this week specifically for musicians: https://musicians.today

@mastohost
Let me add my appreciation for your work.

And..congratulations?

@mastohost as admin of one of the instances you host, I appreciate the service you provide and understand that this is an unusually tricky moment. FWIW this instance has upgraded service two or three times since founding - we’ve been pretty happy with what we’ve experienced so far. 👍

@mastohost Don't worry it's understandable.

@mastohost Only to be expected with the massive influx. Take your time and we will still be here when its done.

@mastohost

Thank you... It's appreciated!

@mastohost thanks!👍

@mastohost Not entirely sure I know what all that means but sounds like a lot of work for you! So thank you. 😊

@mastohost I appreciate what you are doing! I prefer slowdowns over having all of my data siphoned and sold on #twitter.

@mastohost Thank you for all your hard work. I know it's going to be a rough patch, but I'm very glad to know you're working on it!

@mastohost good luck! Hang in there! And thank you 😃

@mastohost We love you

@mastohost thank you for all the hard work!!

@mastohost we do! Good luck with everything. This is a GOOD growing pain. Thanks for all you do and providing this service.

@mastohost we do understand!

@mastohost you are amazing. All your hard work is appreciated so much. Thank you x

@mastohost thanking myself everyday that I chose you to do this instead of having learn myself :-) keep up the good work

@mastohost Good luck! Thanks for all your work!

@mastohost - I really appreciate your efforts. (I am one of those new people making so much extra work for you.)

@mastohost thanks for keeping the ship afloat as so many new people get on board

@mastohost It's all good!

@mastohost You're doing amazing work. You're achieving incredible uptime despite record breaking load & an upgrade to v4.0! 👏 👏 👏

@mastohost The struggle is real! Thank you, Mastodon will survive :fernando_mendes:

@mastohost Thank you for all your work!

@mastohost Should I stop tooting? :)

(Thanks for the update Hugo + please remember to breathe and don’t wear yourself out.) 💕

@mastohost

thanks for your work, hope we grow quickly but not absurdly—breathe, breathe, breathe

@mastohost You're #AWESOME

@mastohost You're doing a great job, mate! Nothing at all to be sorry for, in my view.

Thank you very much for the work you're putting in from us at GK. Considering the strain everything is under it's a wonder we're all still up and running, and a testament to the work you're doing

@mastohost
Thank you so much for the lifeboat. Sorry for the extra work, but am grateful to be here.

@mastohost okay... standing by.

@mastohost Thanks for the hard work and good luck! I've appreciated the quality of the service so far, it saves me doing it all :)

@mastohost No apologies necessary. Take care, this must be stressful.

@mastohost Thank you for your great work!

@mastohost

Best of luck ! And "gros encouragements" as we say here.

@mastohost Not only do we understand, we applaud you.

You have been doing amazing work, Hugo. And I really truly appreciate the opportunity you have given us.

Thank you. 🙏

@mastohost as a fellow infrastructure technologist, you have my deepest sympathy in this thundering herd situation. cheering you on 🙌🏻

@mastohost I would be first to sign on if you needed to raise your fees. Masto.host is rock solid and always my first recommendation for anyone who wants Mastodon hosting.

:jrbd:

@mastohost Thank you for everything you do!!

@mastohost Definately understand! You're doing great work 🐘👍

@mastohost Thank you for all the work you do!

@mastohost thank you!

@mastohost There's definitely a pattern of stronger and stronger spikes every friday (weekend) since Oct 27. :)

@mastohost
We do understand. Thank you 🙏

@mastohost if it’s something you can share, it would be amazing to see any graphs of the traffic ramping up. A few of the larger instances have shared similar, and it really puts in context what an amazing job they’re doing coping with the influx.

@mastohost I think the entire fediverse is a bit stressed 😬

ecoevo.social might feel slow but our provider is experiencing a huge load right now given the situation.

@mastohost you got this Hugo!

@mastohost Thank you, as a new arrival from t’other place I appreciate the work a sudden influx must have created.

@mastohost You are doing an amazing service and a great job. Keep up the great work, and ignore the haters.

@mastohost Thank you for keeping up on all of it!

@mastohost thank you for trying your best, it's not your fault The Other Place is rapidly becoming a wasteland. You're doing amazing, sweetie.

@mastohost Good luck and thanks for the hard work. This has got to be a challenge for the team to have so much influx all at once.

@mastohost Thanks for the warning 👌

@mastohost The number of I's in that last paragraph really driving home how much is going into running your service. Thanks for all you're doing!

@mastohost you’re doing great, thank you!
