@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. :(

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

@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 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!

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

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