Sooo … I accidentally launched a bit of a DDoS attack on @fosstodon: My post on Mastodon's awesomeness hit the Hacker News front page and people seemed to believe me about how great fosstodon is!
Welcome, everyone!
According to @kev, we've upgraded our server to handle the increased load, and I've taken the plunge to support fosstodon on Patreon[0].
If you're a Mastodon regular, I'd encorage you to do the same for your local instance!
