Sad to see that mastodon.social is under a DDoS attack... but as @tferrer wrote, the beauty of the fediverse is that there are thousands of independent instances chugging along.
This includes my little self-hosted corner of the Fediverse running #GoToSocial 🪴
This is what TRUE decentralization looks like. And I LOVE it and I'm forever grateful for it :fediverse: :ActivityPub:

@elena @tferrer I was just looking at their local timeline earlier this morning, its a mess of junk posts and grifting.

@elena Are you ready to welcome the disappointed mastodon.social users on your instance ? 🤣🤣 @tferrer

@elena @tferrer And that's one of the reasons not to use the largest instance. By being the biggest, it's the best target for assholes.

@elena @tferrer Let's treat it as some free advertising for the Fediverse, with some tech websites writing about it 😁

@elena @tferrer Its true power. As my feed is diverse enough, I didn't notice it was down until I explicitly read about it. That's healthy.
