mastodon.social being down, presumably because they're testing some of their latest features they're working on, and in the process kicking 1 million out of the 11.8 million people* (thanks @nemobis for the correction) from the fediverse is a good reminder to check out other Mastodon instances, or even other fediverse networks.

@stefan i hadn't even noticed that it was down to be honest.

@stefan

You mean 70% of the users are on mastodon.social? That's a substantial amount 🤯

@nickb333 EDIT: I don't know how I misread that, thanks again to @nemobis for the correction!

@stefan The reason why I kept away from the big-name instances. I'm happy at @hosting. Meanwhile, traffic from elsewhere still flows on my Federated timeline.

@nemobis I'm just going by the numbers here. Sorry, not too sure what I missed.

A screenshot from the-federation.info showing total fediverse users at 11,843,184 and Mastodon 8,384,946.

@nemobis Ah, of course, sorry! Thank you for pointing out what should've been obvious, appreciate it!
