@bougiekitty @Gargron Strange that they do this only at one of the many instances.

@lostgen Actually other instances have reported higher load too.

Check the stats at mastodon.fediverse.observer/li : mastodon.social has 13 % of total users active in the last month, vs. e.g. 40 % in troet.cafe. So it stands to reason that returning users might create bigger swings in one case than in the other.

However I have no information to doubt Gargron's assessment on the source of today's downtime.
