I believe mastodon.social might be under a DDoS attack currently, investigating. Sorry for the inconvenience!

@Gargron no worries, Eugen. All part of the growth process.

@Gargron Thanks for the update. You were unreachable from the USA for almost 2 hours. Working mostly now though. Thanks for all your hard work!

@Gargron Denial of Toots is unacceptable. Off to fight the bird man.

Marcus

@Gargron I wonder why. Has anybody made any demands?

Wenyan

@Gargron can multiple running instances help to mitigate the attach damage?

@Gargron

I have suspected this has been happening over recent weeks.

@Gargron As we programmers who learned on the Apple II would say, "Shtuff happens!"

@Gargron Hoping Mindly stays safe & that folks on Social don’t suffer any major losses. There are enemies of success out there… May we all stay out of harm’s way 🧿

@Gargron The vibe here is so chill even a report of an attack on the system is somehow comforting. :)

@Gargron

Congratulations. That means Mastodon is gaining importance!

Simon Campbell

@Gargron You do a fantastic job. Thank you for all the time an effort. Any thoughts on who is responsible?

EMatts

@Gargron thank you! Mastedon.online is down. Unfortunately it seems an inevitable fight. We need to be patient. I hope big $$ tech and governments wont fund a way to destroy the platform(s). People are going to need to be patient and help in the fight for free social media...or we lose it. :(

Jacob Hobbie

@Gargron Thank you so much for everything, no worries here!

@Gargron You where at it late! Good job mate

J. Steven York RESISTS

@Gargron Noticed the slowdowns and time-outs. Wondered if something like that was happening. Thanks for the update.

@Gargron oh no! I just figured out how to transfer to a new account because of word of mastogram going away soon. I hope it’s just a glitch.

@Gargron @chad Legit wonder if Elon is behind this, even if indirectly.

@Gargron this scenario makes the benefits of decentralized social media even more apparent

@Gargron I thought something was amiss... Thanks for the update and for all the hard work!

Christiane Gante

@Gargron Good luck!
Positive thing is: that means mastodon IS important enough for an attack.

Ewan

@Gargron that's horrible! Hope you're not overwhelmed by the work of fixing it!

Wayne’s The Name!!!😁

@Gargron if you are pissing off cult of Elon, you’re doing something right.

@Gargron Good to know you are on top of things keep up the excellent job and thank you .

@Gargron this is why need federated platforms. If one is attacked or shutdown, the others continue to work safely.
