       Err, if this is real... wow. I upped the server capacity at Sauropods.win a couple of days ago, so I think we'll be alright, but you should expect the Mastodon network to struggle a bit in the coming wave.

       @john the announcement today that Twitter was banning links and user names from other social media sites seems to have set off another major wave.

       @john yesterday’s omnishambles was the last burned bridge for me, but it looks like he’s gone for an even bigger fail today

       @ScottHartman Absolutely, it's people's last chance to links to Mastodon servers. Glad I got so many of you guys to sign up ages ago.

       @john I never know whether to trust the bot that puts out that graph. But, it does seem roughly approximate to everything else I observe, though perhaps off by a factor of 5 or so. More importantly, I don't have a better alternative.

       @llewelly It's buggy as hell, and I have no idea whether the absolute numbers are correct, but the waves are definitely real.

       @john yeah - it reminds me of a common phenomenon in science - that it is often easier to get a useful estimate of when something changes than it is to accurately measure the thing's absolute value.
