We've been hit by a massive DDoS attack. The site may not work as expected. We're working on mitigating the attack. Fastly are helping us. If in doubt, check status.mastodon.social for information.

@Gargron Are we sure it isn't just a massive rush from people abandoning #twitter?

@Gargron Nice that federation results in a working Mastodon experience for most not being interrupted.

In theory, I suppose, you could have a secondary account on another instance following the same people and have built in personal redundancy.

@Gargron Do you happen to know who is doing it? Are you willing to say?

@Gargron Gees, why do people do this stuff, seems for some so hard to leave other people's things alone.

@Gargron I wondered why Mastodon was going funny and I couldn't log out.
Thanks for all you do 🥰

@Gargron Everything working fine for me right now, so whilst it still is...

He'll know what to do.

@Gargron This sucks, truly, and yet also shows how incredible decentralized infrastructure is for a platform.

(This is an example of something I'd quote-toot, and I'm still not sure how that is "properly" done... I didn't screenshot because I know the concept is offensive to you personally. Anyway, as to the original toot, thanks for making a platform so open and resilient.)

@Gargron

Whenever logging in doesn't function (not often), I go do something else for a time, confident that our competent Mastodon admins are hard at work fixing the problem + it will be up again soon.

In contrast to Bird site.

Looks like the DDoS attackers forgot to take down every other Mastodon instance... I didn't even know this until somebody else mentioned it.
