Apologies for some of the recent “503” errors in Micro.blog. We’ve made some configuration tweaks today that should reduce or eliminate the problem.
@manton that’s part of why I pay for the service, so I don’t have to figure out and fix these kinds of things
@manton what I’m trying to say is “Thank you for continuing to work on making this a better and better experience”
@manton I figure it's a sign of growth. I use it as an opportunity to do something I've been putting off.
@manton I was reading about Eugene Rochko struggling to cope with the recent boom in Mastodon membership and it just made me glad that Micro.blog is basically designed to always grow at a gradual pace. The "always-on" addiction of the web over the past 10 years is one of those things that I hope an increasing number of people will now reject.
@manton Thank you!
I work on server software, so I know this kind of thing can be stressful. Appreciate all the work going into MB!
@SimonWoods I read that too and feel for him… @jean and I were talking yesterday about how the Twitter fallout is a marathon, not a sprint. Maybe it's even a very, very long walk. No reason to get burned out with lack of sleep.
@SimonWoods @manton I hope he doesn't introduce "quote tweets" in Mastodon. Sudden gain of power can be tempting. Here I'm trying to figure out how to de-boost my account so don't want to think about whatever the term it will be for Quote-Tweeting.
@manton No worries, Manton, if anything it’s a good problem to have. Always appreciate everything you do here to keep things going.
@pratik Agreed. Another reason I'm happy to maintain Micro.blog as my final attempt to have a personal digital identity; I would rather give up on the timeline-based web than partake in "quoting" culture.
