@Eggfreckles ROTFL! OK, that makes more sense then. 🤣 And you're welcome!You still have an iPhone 4? Seriously? Damn, I just had my last iPhone 4 crushed and destroyed a few weeks ago. I didn't realize I still had it. 🤷♀️

It seems #mstdnsocial, my server, has again suffered significant performance problems and even been completely offline for awhile today. I assume @stux, our admin, already knows this and is working on it.But with timeline updates and notifications being delayed 20 minutes or more, #Mastodon is essentially unusable for me right now. Which means my firehose of boosts may not even be a trickle until this is resolved. Sorry about that.It's possible I may need to transfer to a different server.

It turns out that @stux, our admin here at #mstdnsocial, was not only hard at work on the performance problems today, he absolutely blasted them into oblivion with major upgrades all around. As he wrote earlier:> 48 dedicated cores and 184GB memory :flan_laugh: And that's only 1 server lol! :blobcatgiggle:Thanks, @stux! You rock!!Needless to say, I will not be changing servers. :blobcatblush: :blobcatheart:

Apparently my job here on #Mastodon is to boost a LOT of posts. And I'm OK with that, really. Most of you seem to like it. 🤷♀️But as a periodic reminder for those who might be overwhelmed by it all, you don't have to unfollow or mute me to turn off the firehose.Simply click on my avatar to see my profile and then click on the "..." menu to choose "Hide boosts from donmelton."That's it. That will turn off the spigot but still show posts like this one.Thanks for following! ❤️

@christopher @shawrd773 Honestly, I have no idea. 🤷♀️ And I would love to have that functionality as well.

@qurlyjoe @MaryAustinBooks @pivoinebleue @Lowie I AM LEGION! 🤣Seriously, being a 'bot, even just one, would be a LOT easier than trying to read everything on Mastodon. 🤦♀️

You might have noticed that I boosted a few---or maybe 50---toots about duly-elected Representative #ZooeyZephyr being censured, silenced and oppressed by the #Montana House today. For speaking truth to power. For protecting her constituents.And I'll keep boosting those posts because everyone needs to pay attention to this story. This assault on #Democracy.#Trans live matter. Right? Find a way to prove you believe that.

I've now boosted over 50,000 posts on Mastodon since I arrived here back on November 3, 2022. That's about 230 boosts every day. I'm torn between celebrating and apologizing. 🤦♀️Either way, thank you so much for following me. 💖

I love this last paragraph from @Teri_Kanefield's blog post today on The Washington Post's "bombshell":"Moreover, constant outrage isn't good for anyone's health. How will we all have the energy to do the work necessary to save democracy if people keep unnecessarily setting their hair on fire?"See: https://law-and-politics.online/@Teri_Kanefield/110577974501526278And that could apply to a lot of other subjects, too. Like maybe the whole Meta/ActivityPub thing. Just sayin'.
