For the first time the #CoSocialCa Mastodon server has started to struggle just a little bit to keep up with the flow of the Fediverse.
We’ve usually been “push” heavy but we’ve started to see some spikes in “pull” queue latency. The worst of these spikes was today, where we fell behind by at least a couple minutes for most of the afternoon.
By way of #introduction , I’m Mick, and I am old enough to remember when the Internet was made up of small communities built and supported by their members - before the phrases “attention economy” and “surveillance advertising” were a thing.
I have been missing the fun, chaos and collaborative spirit of that early ‘Net, and I think #Mastodon is a way to reclaim the space that was taken from us.
Volunteer member of #CoSocialTechOps hoping to be at least a little bit useful around here.
