@ruud Nice post, glad to hear it became a bit more relaxed.If you would charge everyone 8$ you could make a living out of it 😉BTW, I think there is a typo in your blog:"I did get some remarks from people that think a Mastodon server shouldn't host this many server. "You probably mean "this many users" or "accounts".

@ruud@simon Superb write up, and I admire your determination to get a server running for the influx - although I don't envy you the task. Going forward I do really think there need to be some *massive* servers with the support, maintenance and moderation that that will entail, I can't see the "lots of micro servers" model scaling once you reach 10s of millions of users.

@ruud That's a great write up! This instance has been super reliable even through all the mass migrations from Twitter. Scaling something quickly is very hard work, but you've done a fantastic job of keeping up both on the technical side and the moderation side. Write ups like that are super helpful to other instance admins on how to deal with these issues as they come up. Thanks for all your hard work over the last few months!

@ruud I really like how blogs connected to AP (like this one I assume) are handled in the Mastodon UI. Visible like any other post in your own instance's UI, but visiting the post's link produces a custom webpage like any other blog.

@ruud Excellent post, really good to hear all the details of how you’ve scaled and supported the instance. As a software engineer and devops I think you’ve done an amazing job at keeping it running and performant.

@ruud You know I think about moving my account to other instances at times, but I always stay because none of the other available options are as professional as what you and your team have accomplished. I am really proud of what you have been able to put together here. Thank you for providing this space for us to continue our social media journey.

@ruud this was interesting. I signed up on November 3rd, just on the massive migration. I really enjoy this instance and the variety of users around. Thanks for explaining the process of scaling and maintaining this server. I just started a job and I have big expenses this month, but I'll try to chip in next January 😊

@pedersen I use Writefreely for blogging, which federates. So you can follow the blog, and the blog posts appear in your feed. I also run Pixelfed, Peertube and Misskey.

@ruud We might start looking into helping those ex-employees of Twitter. That’s less manpower training too and we’re dealing with highly principled workers.
